📍 Destination Overview
Trongsa sits in central Bhutan above a gorge at 2,180 metres, the country's geographical and historical heart. The 1644 Trongsa Dzong, one of Bhutan's largest and most spectacular fortresses, controlled the only pass between east and west; every king serves as Trongsa Penlop before ascending the throne. Its temple and museum hold sacred relics and royal history amid dramatic gorges.
