Itineary Detail

Today, crosses the Korila pass (2,450 m/8,036 ft.) and follows a river valley and then climbs to Trashigang town. Upon arrival, check into your accommodation and soon we embark on a bumpy ride to some picturesque weaver's villages. Our first stop will be at Rangjung Village where you visit Yeozerchholing, a large Nyingma Monastery.

Continue further east on a gravel road and dirt track, absorbing the rich culture of eastern Bhutan, to Radi village, the rice basket of eastern Bhutan. It is also famous for beautiful supplementary warp patterned fabrics or aikapur (textile patterns) and raw silk bura the most popular and prestigious textiles made in eastern Bhutan. In the past, these textiles, woven of cotton, wild silk, or cultivated silk in five color combinations had such a value that the noble households retained the weavers who knew this technique. Prized for generations aikapur cloth has been saved for special occasions. You will have opportunity to experiment with vegetable dyes with the help of weavers.

Afternoon, you drive back to the hotel in Trashigang. After wash and change, you may take a stroll through the town and visit its Dzong.
