"I've been to 121 countries but the 'penis village' of Bhutan is the strangest"
A travel influencer visited the 'penis village' - known for its phallus murals and male-member-shaped souvenirs. Daniel Pinto, 25, has been to 121 countries, but said Sopsokha, Bhutan, Asia, is the strangest place he's ever been. The village is located in the western part of the landlocked country and has many penis symbols adorning buildings and sculptures on display. Daniel, from Viseu, Portugal, said: "It’s a very beautiful traditional Bhutanese village surrounded by rice fields "But the closer you get the weirder it becomes. "The temple itself is just as odd. A huge golden Buddha in the middle surrounded by phalluses of all shapes and sizes." The small village is also famous for the temple of Chimi Lhakhang or the temple of fertility. Many make the pilgrimage to the temple with women who are trying to conceive given a wooden phallus and told to circle the temple three times. Many people in Bhutan will have the sacred phallic symbols in their homes to spur on fertility. Daniel said: "In the temple you also find success story pictures of couples who struggled to get pregnant then went to the village and got pregnant shortly after. "Unfortunately, you can’t take cameras or phones into any temple in Bhutan - so no photos of the inside. "I was only there for a few hours which is enough. Walked around, saw the temple and ate lunch." Tourists and pilgrims can also take home a souvenir in the shape of a phallic-inspired gift - a sculpture, doll or even t-shirt. He added: "The most interesting thing is definitely the gift shops selling penis dolls of all shapes sizes and colours. "There were t-shirts, posters and literally everything you can think of in the shape of a penis. "Many Bhutanese people will have a penis bought from this village in their home." Bhutan has rigorous rules with tourists who enter the country and Daniel had to be chaperoned by a government official the whole time. Since travelling to Bhutan, Daniel has been to Sri Lanka and the Maldives - and hopes to complete his tour of the world by visiting every single country. The footage was captured on June 17.
