Little is known about the origin of this unique, fairy tale-like village in Zhemgang. A clustered settlement of around 27 two to three-storied houses built using ancient stonemasonry technique on a hillock opposite Zhemgang dzong in central Bhutan. The village inspired the setting of a hollywood fantasy film, The Secrets of Dumbledore, where it is portrayed as a magical place, high up on a mountain top. 
Due to its unique, one of a kind ancient architecture and aura, the village is today being preserved as a heritage site.
