Trashigang
Eastern Bhutan's hidden gem
Set in the far east of Bhutan, Trashigang is one of the country’s most remote and untouched regions. Once an important trade route to Tibet, this hillside town blends dramatic landscapes with a strong sense of cultural identity. The pace is slower, the roads wind farther, and the people are deeply connected to the land. It’s a true escape from the modern world, ideal for adventurous travellers looking to experience Bhutan off the beaten path.
