Trashigang Dzongkhag is a dzongkhag in eastern Bhutan, with its capital in the town of Trashigang, known as the "breadbasket of Bhutan". Located on the eastern edge of Bhutan, near the Indian state of Assam, the dzongkhag is known for its magnificent mountainous landscape and well-preserved traditional culture. The most famous landmark in the Dzong is the Trashigang Dzong, a majestic fortress perched on a mountain ridge, one of the largest dzongs in Bhutan, which serves both religious and administrative functions and attracts many pilgrims and tourists every year. The local population relies heavily on agriculture and handicrafts for their livelihood, specializing in weaving and traditional paper making. Chirang Dzong preserves the traditional Bhutanese way of life, with terraced rice paddies cascading through the valleys and high forest cover, making it an ideal place to experience Bhutan's original culture and an important gateway for exploring the remote regions of the east.
