Eastern Bhutan Explorations
Journey into the lesser-visited but deeply authentic regions of Mongar and Lhuentse, where the spirit of Bhutan beats strongest in its untouched landscapes, centuries-old traditions, and the warm hospitality of its people. Eastern Bhutan remains a hidden gem, perfect for those who want to go beyond the typical tourist circuit and connect with Bhutan’s rural charm.
Mongar is a vibrant hill town perched on a gentle slope, serving as the commercial hub of eastern Bhutan. It blends modern life with strong cultural roots and offers a refreshing look at how Bhutan preserves its traditions in daily life.
North of Mongar lies Lhuentse, a district revered as the ancestral home of Bhutan’s royal family and one of the most spiritual corners of the country. It is also famed for its textile traditions, particularly the intricate Kishuthara weaving done by women in Khoma village.
Mongar and Lhuentse are where Bhutan reveals its quiet resilience and artistry. If you're looking for a more immersive, offbeat, and culturally rich experience, Eastern Bhutan invites you to explore its timeless beauty-one woven thread at a time.
