Trongsa

…is a city with Royal Heritage dated back in the 16^th century

It is a town, situated in the heart of Trongsa District, placed in the central of Bhutan. This is that part of the country which until the time of 70’s the people used to reach this place only by the way of mule and foot trails. The sight is one of the best views with the mountain forest on one hand and the cliff on the other.

Trongsa Dzong was built in 1648 and has been the traditional home of all the kings of Bhutan prior to their ascending thrones and therefore is considered to be the ancestral home of the Royal Family.

The place is popular shopping hub for the tourists. The famous hand weaved handicrafts are unique and traditional. Although the shopkeepers do merchandise in machine-weaved carpets and handlooms, but the hand weaved are much more preferred by the tourists. The famous wool which has been dyed is also found in a very reasonable rate than in any other place. Therefore, this place remains promising Buddhist site to make your tour exciting and enjoyable.

The most anticipated year’s festival in Bhutan is ‘Tsechu’, the celebration of the country’s patron saint. The celebration in the honour of Guru Rinpoche, who has brought Buddhism to Bhutan about 1300 years back. This is celebrated with vibrant music and mask dance by the people of Bhutan and ends with the unfurling of the ancient old Thangkha, i.e. the Buddhist Religious scroll.

One can really enjoy its true beauty at the winter time with snow capped mountains and the greenery and at the backdrop with the beautiful sunset.
