Tumgang, Bhutan: a quiet town deep in the Himalaya
Tumgaon is located in the western part of Bhutan, under Thimphu Dzong, at the southern foot of the eastern section of the Himalayas, with an average altitude of about 2,500 meters, about 30 kilometers from the capital city of Thimphu. Surrounded by mountains and covered with over 70% forests, it is a typical mountain town that retains the original look of traditional Bhutanese villages, untouched by modern excesses.
The town is centered on Tibetan Buddhist culture, with mani piles, streamers and ancient temples (such as the ruins of Tumgang Dzong) everywhere, and the inhabitants wear traditional costumes (women's dress, chela) and live a slow pace of life, practicing the concept of Bhutan's "Gross National Happiness" (GNH), which focuses on the harmony between spirituality and nature. The economy is based on agriculture and eco-tourism, producing buckwheat, potatoes and other alpine crops, and the pristine landscapes have become a hidden window for trekkers to explore the purity of life in the "Land of the Thunder Dragon".
