Bumthang consists of the four mountain valleys of Ura, Chumey, Tang and Choekhor ("Bumthang"), although occasionally the entire district is referred to as Bumthang valley.
The architectural form in Bhutan is very diverse; temples, monasteries, houses, village mani-walls, fortress, palaces all compose a landscape that is unique to Bhutan. Traditional architecture is still very common in Bumthang. At first glance, it is not easy to differentiate new buildings from original buildings. This is due to the fact that the same architectonic repertoire is always resorted to: a vertically structured facade with plinths, central blocks and roof substructures. Probably the most definitive features of these buildings are the timber frameworks of the windows which protrude from the facade, the "flying" roof and the paintings on the facade. Despite their sophisticated con- struction design and rich decoration, they are nevertheless often hand-made individually.
