Mongar Dzong


Mongar Dzong, a fortress built in the 1930s, is a fine example of Bhutanese architecture. Although relatively modern compared to other dzongs in Bhutan, it houses several important temples and monastic quarters. The Dzong hosts the annual Mongar Tsechu, a vibrant festival featuring traditional mask dances and rituals, which takes place in November.

Explore Monastery


Drametse Goemba, a 16th-century monastery, is the largest and most significant Nyingma monastery in eastern Bhutan. It is the birthplace of the famous Drametse Ngachham (Drametse Drum Dance), a sacred masked dance performed during religious festivals. This dance has been recognized by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Lhuntse Dzong


Lhuntse Dzong is a historic fortress located in Lhuentse district. It is known for its stunning architecture and is considered one of the most picturesque dzongs in Bhutan. Visitors can take a guided tour of the dzong and learn about its history and cultural significance.

Explore Bhutan History


The ruins of Zhongar Dzong, perched on a hilltop, offer a fascinating glimpse into Bhutan's past. Although the Dzong was destroyed by fire in the 20th century, the remaining walls and structures still showcase the intricate traditional Bhutanese craftsmanship. The site offers panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and villages.

Hiking and Trekking


Aja Ney, a sacred pilgrimage site located in the mountains near Mongar, is believed to be one of the 108 holy places blessed by Guru Rinpoche. The hike to Aja Ney takes you through pristine forests, remote villages, and breathtaking landscapes. Pilgrims visit the site to pay homage, receive blessings, and collect sacred medicinal plants found in the area.

Shop Local Handicrafts


Mongar is known for its traditional textiles, particularly the unique silk and raw silk fabrics called "bura" and "loka". Visit the local markets and workshops to witness the skilled artisans weaving intricate patterns and designs. You can purchase these beautiful textiles as souvenirs or gifts.
