Gangzur village is a 2 km drive from Lhuntse town along a feeder road and is one of the remote villages in Bhutan. However, the short 2 km bumpy ride is quite forgiving as it opens up to a quaint little village. The cluster of farmhouses still bears all the traces of traditional architecture. Terraced paddy fields sits on almost all sides surrounding the village. As the paddy begins to ripen by September, the landscape transforms into a stunning carpet of gold. In the backdrop of a clear azure sky, vibrant hues of the changing forest and ripening fruits, the sight is very striking.

Apart from it's beauty, Gangzur is also famous for it’s earthen pottery farm, which was the main source of income for every household. Due to modernization and easy availability of cheap metal and steel pots, this ancient traditional craft is on the verge of extinction and the government is making every effort to resuscitate this ancient craft through financial supports and encouragement. At the communal earthen pottery house one can see groups of locals making pots while some prefer to make them at their house. These earthen pots are supplied all over Bhutan.  

Grandparents say that ema datsi (a curry/stew of chill and cheese, considered our national dish) cooked in such earthen pots over a traditional oven is considered exceptionally special and delicious.
