Eastern Bhutan - Mongar Attractions and sightseeing

Altitude 5,575 feet

Mongar, Bhutan Tours

Mongar marks the beginning of eastern Bhutan. It is situated on the gentle mountain slopes at an altitude of 5575 feet above sea level. Unlike western Bhutan, most of the towns in eastern Bhutan including Mongar, are on the top of hills or ridges; this is because the valleys in the east are usually narrow and steep.

Places to visit in Mongar

Mongar Dzong: Built in 1930 to replace the ruined Shongar Dzong that was built by a lord from Ura in 1100. It is the administrative seat of Mongar district and also houses the region's monastic community.
