Central Bhutan • Trongsa • Bumthang • Mongar • Lhuentse • Trashigang • Samdrup Jongkhar   Bhutan Places to See -  Western Bhutan -  Central Bhutan -  Religious         Central Bhutan Mongar The Mongar district is the northern portion of the ancient region of Kheng. Mongar is the district headquarters and hardly more than a stopping place surrounded by fields of maize. It is also the first town built in a mountain side instead of in a valley, a characteristic of eastern Bhutan where the valleys are usually little more than riverbeds and mountain slopes which rise abruptly from the rivers, flatten out as they approach their summits. One would never imagine that the upper parts of the mountains are so densely populated. Shongar Dzong, Mongar's original Dzong, is in ruins and the new dzong in Mongar town is not as architecturally spectacular as others in the region. Dramtse Goemba, in the eastern part of the district, is an important Nyingmapa Monastery, but it is difficult to get there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Places to visit: 1: Dramtse Goemba 2: Mongar Dzong    Bhutan Bhutan Trekking Suggested Tours Bhutan Information Visa Information Entry Procedure Air Ticketing Places To See Adve.
