Trongsa is a historic and culturally significant district located in central Bhutan, often considered the gateway to the central and eastern regions of the country. Known for its stunning landscapes, traditional architecture, and historical importance, Trongsa plays a crucial role in Bhutan’s heritage and identity.

At the heart of Trongsa lies the Trongsa Dzong, one of Bhutan’s largest and most iconic fortresses. Built in the 17th century, this dzong overlooks the Mangde River and is strategically located on a ridge, providing a commanding view of the surrounding area. The Trongsa Dzong has been the seat of the region’s religious and administrative affairs for centuries and holds a special place in Bhutan’s monarchy, as it was from this dzong that Bhutan’s kings traditionally ascended to the throne. Today, it stands as a symbol of Bhutan’s rich history and spiritual heritage.
