The culture of thagzo (hand-loom weaving) is believed to have been prevalent in Bhutan for centuries. According to oral histories, a northern princess known to Bhutanese as Azhi Jyazu, the consort of King Songsten Gembo who built several sacred temples across the Kingdom, is believed to have gifted the art of weaving to the women of Kurtoe in Lhuentse after being moved by their hospitality.

Textiles are Bhutan’s finest art; the products show a heritage built over centuries through shared skills and personal creativity in working with fibres, dyes, weaving, sewing, and embroidery.

The Trongsa Dzong (fortress) was established in 1644; in the local dialect, Trongsa (Krong Sar) literally means a "new village." The Dzong was once the Wangchuck dynasty's seat of power. Before becoming the King of Bhutan, the ‘heir to the throne’ is first appointed the Trongsa Penlop (governor) then the Crown Prince, and finally ascends the Golden Throne. The Dzong is strategically perched high above the Mangde Chu (river) gorges on a mountain ridge. The watchtower of Trongsa is converted into a museum dedicated to the Wangchuck dynasty and serves as a good place to reflect about the history of the kingdom.
