The Druk Wangyal Khangzang Chhortens, a unique cluster of 108 Namgyal Khangzang Chhortens that spiral up to a main monument Chhorten, was an inspiration of the royal patron, Her Majesty the Queen Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck. Vividly portraying Bhutan's spiritual and artistic traditions, the Chhortens sit astride a strategic mound that offers a magnificent view of the endless ridges that roll into the distance towards the majestic snow-capped peaks in the north.

Structurally, the monument fits into the contour of the terrain and blends with the natural environment. It rises as a three-tiered mendrel in the shape of the auspicious dungkar ekhil (rare conch shell with its coil reverting to the right) with the rows of Chhortens defining the eternal lines of the mendrel.

Each Chhorten is carefully crafted out of wood and stone with the proportions dictated by the ancient legacy of Bhutanese artwork. The main monument, dedicated to His Majesty the King, and each of the 108 Chhortens are proportionately sized to compliment the sacred nye of Dochula, recognised by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal. The entire complex is easily accessible and both motorists and pedestrians get a full view of the main monument and all the Chhortens from every direction. There are four "gateways" to the main monument - two formal fleets of steps from the north and south and two meandering "organic" stairways that follow the natural ridge from the east and west.
