Bhutan, the land of the peaceful thunder dragon is known to the world by several names such as the ‘the Last Shangri-La’ or ‘the Last Place on the Roof of the World.’ Though the original name from the time of Marco Polo was ‘Bootan,’ the natives prefer to call their country ‘Druk Yul,’ or the Land of the Peaceful Thunder Dragon. Nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, Bhutan offers spectacular mountain views, immense scenic beauty and a unique culture and lifestyle. |

Places to Visit in Bhutan
The largest town of eastern Bhutan, Trashigang is located on the eastern side of Mongar and is about three hours drive from the latter. Major
attractions in and around Trashigang include temples, monasteries, a weaving center, a school for the blind, and Sherubtse College, which was the first college in Bhutan. You will surely want to visit the Trashigang Dzong. You can also have a taste of Bhutanese cuisine at several local restaurants.
Chazham (iron bridge), a 73m long suspension bridge, is an interesting sight in the region. Initially there was a chain-link bridge here that was built by Thangtong Gyalpo, a Tibetan bridge builder, in the 15th century. The remains can still be seen here, and the chain is on display in the Trashigang Dzong.
The temple Gom Kora is just a few kilometers away from Trashigang. There is a large black rock behind the temple, and it is said that Guru Rinpoche meditated here. There are some impressions on the rock which are said to be the impressions of his thumb, his hat, and his body. About two kilometers from Gom Kora is an abandoned iron chain-link bridge behind Duksum village, which is the last remaining bridge of those built by Thangtong Gyalpo.
