Located towards the eastern corner at an astounding height of 3,100m, Ura Valley is the highest point in Bumthang. Nestled amidst lush thickets and evergreen vistas, the entire village has almost 40 houses; all set in a cluster with cobbled walkways. Ura is also one of the most fertile regions in Bhutan and is known for its rosehip plant and flower cultivation.
Locals in Ura Valley mostly depend on agriculture for their livelihood. While men mostly can be seen rearing their sheep and yak, the female members of the family can be seen helping in flower cultivation and household works. Along with its untouched natural beauty and friendly locals, the Ura Temple at the centre of the village also serves as a major attraction in this valley. If you are searching for the most peaceful and scenic places to visit in Bumthang, you must consider a visit to Ura Valley.
