View from Trongsa town to the Trongsa Dzong

Built on a mountain spur high above the gorges of the Mangde Chhu, the dzong controlled east-west trade for centuries. An entrance for foreign visitors is only possible with a special permission from the Ministry of Tourism in Thimphu - make the arrangements before. A model of this biggest Dzong from Bhutan was exhibited in Vienna/Austria 1998 and Basel/Switzerland 1999.
