Looking for amazing places to visit in Bhutan? We highly suggest Lhuentse Dzong! The ancient fortress resides atop a hill in eastern Bhutan, and the scenery is truly stunning.
A lot of travelers bypass this hidden treasure, but our opinion is that it's a must-see. Locals have nicknamed it "Lhundub Rinchentse," and it houses both the government building and a monastery. You can get a sense of centuries of the past from its walls of solid stone.
What's interesting is that the royal family of Bhutan has their origins in this area. We walk through the courtyards and observe monks with their daily activity and multicolored prayer flags fluttering in the mountain winds.
Getting there is part of the adventure - twisting mountain roads with scenery that requires constant photo stops!
When surfing through our Bhutan Tour Packages, ensure Lhuentse Dzong is included. Though not as well-known as some destinations, we guarantee it provides an authentic Bhutanese experience worth every moment of your trip!
