Discovering Wangdi Valley: Bhutan’s Scenic Agricultural Heartland
East of Thimphu, the Wangdi Valley unfolds in a patchwork of green and gold, where terraced fields stretch along riverbanks and hillsides.
Wangdiphodrang Dzong
Set at the meeting point of the Mo and Tang Rivers, Wangdiphodrang Dzong is perched dramatically on a hill spur. Designed to resemble a sleeping bull, this imposing fortress offers panoramic views across the valley.
Rural Life and Craft Traditions
As you follow the riverside paths, you’ll pass charming villages straight from a postcard. Keep an eye out for artisans practicing traditional bamboo weaving and slate carving — skills passed down through generations.
