Duksum, also known in the past as Doksum, Dogsum or Dosum[1] is a village in north-eastern Bhutan.

[2] Duksum was famous for its ancient Chazam (iron suspension bridge), which was, however, dismantled in 2004 for restoration.

[3] Originally built by lama Thang Tong Gyalpo, it was rebuilt after 2004 at Tamchog Lhakhang near Paro.

[4] The township of Duksum was mainly a trading post for nearby, off-the-road settlements.

Its importance declined with the extension of rural roads and especially because of a heavy rockfall of 2004 which destroyed many shops, restaurants and houses.
