The small town of Tashi Yangtse (at 1700 metres) is concentrated around the large Chorten Kora, modelled after the Bodnath Stupa of Kathmandu in Nepal and much revered and visited by pilgrims. The town is also famous for its wooden cups and bowls made using water-driven and treadle lathes; it is also a centre for paper manufacture. Few Western Bhutanese have visited Tashi Yangtse as it is so far east and certainly few Western tourists make it this far either!

Trekking in Bhutan is unlike anywhere else in the world. Walking along the rolling Himalayas can be hard work at times. But it’s certainly worth it for the crystal-clear air, little-frequented paths and incomparable views
