Lhuntse is a dzong (district) in eastern Bhutan, located on the eastern border of Bhutan, known for retaining a strong traditional culture and pristine landscape. It is far from the major towns of western Bhutan and is an excellent place to experience traditional Bhutanese life. Lhuntse is known for its exquisite handicrafts, especially the Kira brocade and bamboo handicrafts, which have been passed down from generation to generation and carry the rich cultural heritage of Bhutan. The Mebartsho Monastery, the site of the famous "Burning Lake", is a sacred place of meditation for Guru Rinpoche and has special significance for Buddhists. Rumtek's natural beauty is equally stunning, with rolling hills, crystal clear rivers and dense forests forming an idyllic picture of serenity and tranquility, making it an ideal destination for exploring Bhutan's hidden culture.
