Places to visit in Lhuentse

• Kishuthara Village
• Jangchubling Lhakhang
• Singye Dzong
• Khiney Lhakhang
• Wangzhing Lhakhang
• Minjey Shazo

The Bangtsho ruins are used by local pilgrims, and the trek route to Aja Ney via Phuning La needs to be developed, as it is easier than the route from Yadi or Trashi Yangtse. The Rodong La trail already in use by tourists should be improved. As Minjey, along with Tangmachu, forms the rice bowl of Lhuentse, agricultural tourism can be promoted.

The quaint Lhuentse Dzong is one of the most picturesque in the country

Lhuentse, the idyllic segregated locality is the ancestral home to the royal family of Bhutan. The place is remarkable for the hand-loomed textiles generally fabricated from delicate silk, identified as Kishuthara, preserving untouched one of the most extraordinary art finds of the country.

Besides the permanent royal tales and the idiosyncratic ethnicity of the district, Lhuentse is fairly endowed with several places of divinity. The quaint Lhuentse Dzong is one of the most picturesque in the country being in such a stand that it dominates the daunting Kuri-chhu beneath the plain. The Jigme Namgyal Ngatshang and Dungkar Naktsang can nevertheless be seen in their narrative forms.

The Singye Dzong is a remarkable pilgrimage site for Bhutanese, but it is not clear to tourists

Besides the many day hike trails, picnic spots, and camping sites, there is a variety of flora and fauna. The Black-Necked Cranes arrive in Membi Geog in the first Bhutanese month and can be seen in the paddy fields of Tangmachu.
