SAMDRUP JONGKHAR (280m/920ft)

The road from Trashigang to Samdrup Jongkhar, completed in the 1960’s, enable the eastern half of the country to access and benefit from trade with the south as well as across the Indian border. There is little to see in this area, other than the busy market which straddles the border. Samdrup Jongkhar is a convenient exit town for tourists who arranged to visit the neighboring Indian state of Assam.
