Radhi Village - The Rice Bowl of East

Famously known for its fertile land and production of rice, the Radhi village is referred to as the “Rice Bowl of the East”. This small village and its landscape is stunningly beautified by the endless chains of paddy fields changing colors as per the season. The houses in Radhi are simple yet beautifully built traditional houses surrounded by the paddy fields and gardens.


Apart from the rice production, the village is also renowned for production of raw silk textiles. These raw silk infused with local dye are used to weave the famous buray Gho and Kira (National costumes) and various textiles products by the women of Radhi. Exploring this beautiful village, travelers can watch the women at their handlooms and interact with the villagers.


With the background of the Himalayan Mountains and the dominating colors of the paddy fields a visit and excursion of the Radhi village is an off the beaten path experience not to be missed if visiting eastern Bhutan.
