Bhutan has its own distinctive form of architecture as seen in this photo of the Paro Rimpung (Heap of Jewels) Dzong. The "Dzong" is both the administrative headquarters for each valley as well as the home to the main monastic body of the region. This impressive fortress was used as a location in Bertolucci's "Little Buddha".
