Trashiyangtse is a rapidly growing town and an administrative and religious center for the people of Trashiyangtse. It was carved out from the Trashigang district in 1992 as a separate district. The district pushes up to the northeast Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh and elevations range from 1000m to 5000 m. Situated in a small river valley, it is a lovely spot from which to take walks in the surrounding countryside. Trashi Yangtse is famous for its wooden containers and bowls, which make inexpensive, attractive, and useful mementos for a visit to this remote region.
