Trashigang Dzong - Bhutan eastern attractions

Trashigang is the heartland of eastern Bhutan and was once the centre of important trade with Tibet. It is also the trading centre for the nomadic people from the north eastern glacial valleys, Merak and Sakten, who come to sell their dairy products and yak wool dressed in their unique costumes.
