Trongsa

Trongsa – The Ancestral Seat of Bhutan’s Royal Family

Located in central Bhutan, Trongsa is a historic town that played a vital role in the unification of the country. It is home to the magnificent Trongsa Dzong, the largest fortress in Bhutan, dramatically built on a ridge overlooking the Mangde River. The dzong served as the seat of power for Bhutan’s royal ancestors and continues to be a place of political and spiritual significance. Nearby, the Ta Dzong (watchtower) has been converted into a museum that showcases royal history and artifacts. With its strategic location and panoramic views, Trongsa is a fascinating stop for those interested in Bhutan’s royal legacy and architecture.
