Samtse, Bhutan
Samtse is Bhutan’s fruit basket, a low-lying region that feels more tropical than Himalayan. It’s a melting pot of cultures where the Lhotshampa (southern Bhutanese) communities have farmed cardamom and oranges for generations. It was closed to tourism for years, meaning it remains one of the least explored and most authentic agricultural landscapes in the country.
