Today, we visited another dzong. After seeing the most beautiful dzong in Punakha yesterday, we visited the longest dzong in the country, located in Trongsa.
To get there, we first had to cross the 3,400 metres high pass of Pele La, where we also got to see some yaks. In Trongsa, we spent some time admiring the large Trongsa Dzong with its many beautifully decorated buildings.
