Bhutan

Trongsa

The ancestral seat of Bhutan's royal family, perched dramatically above the Mangde River gorge. Trongsa lies in central Bhutan, where the country's main valleys, dzongs and monasteries sit along the east–west road. Highlights include Trongsa Dzong and Ta Dzong (Royal Heritage Museum). 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 Trongsa on our tours: Bumthang Spiritual Trail, Central Bhutan Wildlife & Heritage Trail and Merak & Sakteng Cultural Trek. 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 Trongsa into a trip that fits.
