[edit] Cities

  • Lhuentse - the administrative capital of Lhuentse District - besides the dzong, not much to see.
  • Khoma - an hour walk from the main road to Lhuentse Dzong - famous for its intricate woven cloth called Kishu Thara.

[edit] Other destinations

  • Singye Dzong - a sacred valley and monastery founded by Yeshi Tsogyal and visited by Guru Rinpoche on his second visit to Bhutan - a three day walk from Khoma.

[edit] Understand

Lhuentse is one of Bhutan's remotest and least developed districts, and the landscape in the north is dominated by the Himalayas. The district is famous for its beautiful and intricate woven cloth. There are no shops selling it, but no doubt pieces can be bought by visiting the houses of weavers - the village of Khoma is an especially good place to look.
