But in no way does this imply that the valley has lost its natural charm or shed off the country's ideals of natural conservatism. As the political, economic and cultural focal point of the kingdom, this city has several places for tourists to stop by. Apart from the monasteries dotting its landscape, there are many restaurants, bars and cafes as well to offer you a leisurely time.
