  • Tashigang Tsechu (religious festival) 17-20 Nov 2007
  • Trashigang Dzong (castle)
  • The town's old bazaar area around the prayer wheel.

From Thimphu there are two routes, both requiring two days: On the northern route there are direct buses that make a night stop at Jakar and pass through Mongar. The southern route passes through Phuentsholing, where you'll need to arrange private transportation to Samdrup Jongkhar as there are no buses on this route. This leg of the journey passes through the Indian states of West Bengal and Assam. From Samdrup Jongkhar, there are direct buses to Trashigang.

  • As the town is nothing more than a few streets, everything can be visited on foot.

  • Druk Denjung Hotel (see entry under sleep) offers simple but tasty dishes.
