We visited the Buddha statue yesterday, which is up on a mountainside above Thimphu. As you can see, it's still under construction -- I think someone told me that the area under the statue will be a museum. The statue is somewhere between 50 and 60m tall (164 to 196ft), and offers beautiful views of the surrounding valleys.
This picture shows the valley where we live -- you can just see some white buildings in the center of the photo -- we are up maybe 500 meters or more from there. We'd really like to hike to the top of the highest ridge you can see here -- apparently it's only about a 6-7 hour hike from where our apartment is, and the views are incredible.
