Legend has it that the fortress is haunted by the spirits of the brave soldiers who died defending the fort making it one of the most haunted locations in Bhutan.
However, the fortress was destroyed by fire in the 1950s, and the charred windows, fractured walls, and ominous darkness create the impression that something horrible is lurking inside.
2. Chorten Kora, A Lore Within A Stupa
Chorten Kora in Bhutan is a magnificent Buddhist architecture modeled after Nepal’s Bodhnath stupa.
Lam Ngawang Loday turned to divine intervention and constructed a stupa reminiscent of Nepal’s Boudha Chorten in order to calm an evil spirit haunting one of Bhutan’s most notorious locations. As per the legend, Ani Chorten Zangmo, a 16 -year-old girl believed to possess divine qualities, was then enclosed within the stupa.
Today, Dakpas from Arunachal Pradesh undertake a three-day pilgrimage during the first month of the lunar calendar to honor their princess’s sacrifice.
Bhutanese also believe that the Chorten appears to radiate more brilliantly when they offer their prayers, making it one of Bhutan’s haunted places.
