Trashiyangtse, Bhutan

Tucked away in a quiet corner of the northeast, Trashiyangtse is a haven of peace. It’s famous for the Chorten Kora (a stupa with eyes painted on it, Nepali style) and its skilled woodturners who make the bowls every Bhutanese uses. The winters here bring Black-Necked Cranes, but fewer tourists than the west, making it perfect for a quiet retreat.
