East to Central Bhutan
11 Nights/12 Days

East Bhutan and certainly Trashi Yangtse is little known and little explored. However, it offers a wealth of nature, culture and history. The first Dzong in the country was Tsenkharla. Omba Ney is one among three unique pilgrimage sites where holy letters can be seen in the rocks and Omba gonpa has been called the Taktshang of East Bhutan. At Gongza ney you find one of the most peaceful monasteries in Bhutan, set among paddy fields and naturally sculptured rocks at the banks of the Gongri river.
