Mongar Town

Mongar Town is a picturesque hillside town and the largest in eastern Bhutan, although “large” is subjective here. Despite its size, it is a notable attraction in the region. 

Key Attractions:

Mongar Dzong: This is the administrative and religious center of the district. The Dzong is a significant landmark, offering insights into the local governance and religious practices.

Cultural Significance: The town serves as the center of Mongar Dzongkhag, but the majority of the population lives in scattered villages outside the town. This distribution highlights the unique rural lifestyle and cultural practices of the region.
