A verdant locale with lavish woodlands, the region is likewise known for containing portions of the Thrumshingla Public Park toward the west, and the Bumdeling Natural life Safe-haven in the upper east. Other than various intriguing and native creature species, these naturally safeguarded regions are where you can track down multitudinous assortments of the delightful Etho Metho or Rhododendron. The dzong, a notable milestone in Mongar, was built in 1930 by His Highness the third Lord Jigme Dorje Wangchuck. The story goes that a designer from Paro was dispatched to fabricate this post. On the slope above Kurichhu, the engineer found a white stone with a bowl-like shape while doing a field study. Zhongkhar, which means “white bowl,” was the spot’s unique name; it was at last adjusted to Mongar. The Mongar Dzong currently remains in that exact area.
