Trashigang Dzong is one of the largest and most important fortresses in eastern Bhutan. Built in 1659, it served as a defensive stronghold and administrative center. Perched on a hill overlooking the Drangme Chhu valley, the dzong remains a key center for government administration and Buddhist religious activities in the region. Its traditional Bhutanese architecture and historical significance make it a prominent landmark of eastern Bhutan.

The Dochula festival, more properly known as the Druk Wangyel Tshechu, held at the beautiful Dochula Pass.

This is one of Bhutan’s most unique festivals because it is performed outdoors at a high mountain pass (around 3,100 meters), surrounded by panoramic views of the Himalayas on clear days.

The festival was introduced to honor the courage and victory of Bhutanese soldiers and to celebrate peace and harmony.

Tourists also enjoy the lively atmosphere — people dressed in traditional gho and kira, local food stalls, and the playful atsaras (clown figures) interacting with the crowd.

The atsaras are not just for entertainment — they have cultural and spiritual meaning. They wear bright costumes, exaggerated masks with large noses or humorous expressions, and act in a playful, teasing way during sacred dances.

Bhutan is home to many rare and beautiful animals because of its vast untouched forests and strong commitment to environmental conservation. More than seventy percent of the country remains under forest cover, creating safe habitats for wildlife across the Himalayas.

The forests shelter animals such as the Bengal tiger, snow leopard, red panda, takin, black-necked crane, and many species of birds and butterflies. Bhutan’s respect for nature and Buddhist values of compassion help protect these ecosystems and the creatures living within them.
