Eastern Bhutan is famous for its fine weaving. Weavers using backstrap looms produce cotton and silk cloth in incredible colors and patterns. Often, natural colors are made from bark, leaves, and flowers. The predominant ethnic group in Eastern Bhutan is Sharchops, who are generally followers of the Nyingma tradition of Buddhism and tend to be shorter and stockier than people in other parts of the country. Another characteristic of Eastern Bhutan is that the cities and towns are generally built on mountain slopes, a notable exception being Samdrup Jongkhar, which is located in a valley on the Indian border. Sharchopkha is the predominant language of the region, though there are local variations. Overnight halt in Mongar.

The pretty, lively town of Trashigang is a good jumping-off point to visit the kingdom’s wild east. Few travellers make it here, but as long as you’re happy to leave behind the relative comforts of Thimphu and Paro, exploring this neck of the woods can have its rewards. This is the most densely populated part of Bhutan, but also the most definitely the hinterland. Locals are fond of a tipple, and bodies sleeping off their excesses at the side of the road aren’t an unusual sight. Trashigang Dzong sits on a jagged piece of land jutting out from the town and is the first landmark that can be seen from the road winding up to Trashigang. The Dzong was built in 1659 and commands a spectacular view over the valley for which it is the administrative center. The Dzong is significant for the fact that it has only one courtyard.
