When you look at Trongsa Valley, you'll understand why it's such a big deal in Bhutan. The valley sits right in the centre of the country and has this gigantic fortress called Trongsa Dzong that overhangs a cliff—sort of nuts to behold in real life.
What is unique about Trongsa Valley is that it's where Bhutan's royal lineage originally hails from. The locals will explain this to you quite quickly - they are very proud of their history with the monarchy. You will notice traditional farmhouses throughout the valley with the same look and feel they have had for fifty years.
We suggest taking time to simply walk around and absorb it all. The monks at the dzong are friendly and willing to talk to you if you're interested in their daily lives. On clear days, you can see mountain peaks going on as far as eyesight allows.
If you're travelling, Trongsa Valley must be one of your Bhutan Places to visit. It offers you that genuine Bhutan experience without all the tourists. Stops here are now included in most of our Bhutan Tour Packages, and we can understand why - you'd be missing out on something very special if you didn't stop by.
