Mongar

The gateway to eastern Bhutan, reached via a dramatic winding mountain road from Bumthang. Mongar lies in eastern Bhutan, the quietest part of the kingdom, known for its textiles, festivals and unhurried pace. Highlights include Mongar Dzong and Eastern mountain highway. A visit here is easiest with a local guide, who can explain what you are seeing, open doors that are hard to find alone and handle the permits Bhutan requires. You can see Mongar on our tours: Eastern Bhutan Discovery. Every journey is built around a licensed guide, a private vehicle and carefully chosen hotels or homestays — tell us your dates and interests and we will plan Mongar into a trip that fits.
