Itineary Detail

Today, you will take a short detour of Membar Tsho- the burning lake in Tang Valley where some of Guru Rimpoche’s treasures were found in the 15th century by famous Pema Lingpa. On the way, you will enjoy the scenery, the beauty of snow-capped mountains, flowers, grazing yaks, and the dense forest. Our next stop will be in Ura valley where we visit a picturesque village and its temple. Ura Village has a medieval look with houses compactly lined up alongside the cobblestone streets and is known for the women's typical sheepskin shawls.

Then the road climbs to the Trumshing La pass (3,750m/12,300 ft.) that officially divides central Bhutan with the eastern part. We will see some cascading waterfalls along the way as we descend to Sengor. Once we cross the bridge over the Kurichu, the highway begins to climb again and goes through pines, maize fields, and eastern hamlets to Mongar town.

Arriving in Mongar marks the beginning of our eastern Bhutan experience. Mongar was the first town built on a mountainside instead of in a valley. Enjoy an evening by taking a stroll through quaint Mongar village.
