The drive and landscape towards Mongar is spectacular along remote highland settlements, forests of abundant multicolored Rhododendron flowers, thick jungles of coniferous trees, deep gorges and steep cliffs, stunning waterfalls and, vibrant and sub-tropical villages and farmlands.


Though a small town of concrete buildings and vibrant local commercial activities, Mongar valley is  also home to nearby isolated villages and communities with their unique culture and traditions.
