Wangdue Phodrang

1,300 mWestern & Central Bhutan

A dramatic ridge-top district where rivers meet, famed for its dzong, its festival artistry and bamboo craft.

Wangdue Phodrang stretches from subtropical valleys to high alpine country, taking in the eastern gateway to central Bhutan.

Its dzong commands a spur above the confluence of the Mo and Punatsang Chhu rivers, and the district's tshechu is renowned across the kingdom for its ornate masks and the celebrated Raksha Mangcham dance.
