The geographic centre of Bhutan, Trongsa is a historical village
built around a monastery established in 1543. Small enough to
easily explore on foot, Trongsa's main attractions include the
Trongsa Dzong and the Thruepang Palace, as well as the markets in
the centre of town that sell handmade textiles and traditional
carpets for prices lower than those in Thimphu. Trongsa is a
popular rest stop on the journey between Thimphu and Bumthang.
