Trashi Yangtze

Trashi Yangtze is located in the Far East a 3 hour drive from Trashigang; the place boarders to Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh in the east and China to the north. The town has developed around Chorten Kora, one of only two Chortens built in a style prevalent in Nepal, a spot where Guru Rimpoche is believed to have had a vision that a temple and Chorten would be built. Both Bhutanese and local tribes from across the border enjoy the Chorten Kora festival at Trashiyangtse. Trashiyangtse offers exciting trekking opportunities and is one of the two locations where the black necked crane migrates. The area is also known for its exceptional woodcraft.
