Mongar is a town near Bumthang. The seven-hour drive from Bumthang to Mongar takes you through one of the most spectacular roads  carved into vertical cliffs, spectacular waterfalls and lush vegetation of Bhutan. Sound of the rushing streams and cascading waterfalls greets you as you look down at the valley looming in the distance below the precipitous rock face. Mongar marks the beginning of eastern Bhutan. The second largest town in the subtropical east, Mongar is built high on a gently sloping hillside.

Mongar Dzong:- It was built in 1930. A visit to Mongar Dzong shows one how traditional Bhutanese architecture has continued to thrive through the centuries. Although built in the 1930s and one of Bhutan’s newest dzongs, it is constructed in the same way as all earlier dzongs, without plans or nails.
