Discover the Charm of Gangzur Village: A Hidden Gem in Bhutan

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the town of Lhuntse. Head east on the Lhuntse to Trashigang Highway (NH 2). Continue on this road for approximately 30 kilometers until you reach the junction for Gangzur. At the junction, turn left onto the road that leads to Gangzur Village. Drive for about 10 kilometers on this winding mountain road. You will pass through scenic landscapes and small villages. Keep an eye out for the signs directing you to Gangzur. The village is located at M5GH+93Q, Lhuntse, which is your destination.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, begin your journey at the Lhuntse bus station. Look for a bus heading towards Gangzur or inquire about shared taxis (often called 'taxi buses') that go in that direction. The bus ride may take around 1 to 1.5 hours depending on road conditions and stops. Once you arrive at the Gangzur junction, you may need to hire a local taxi or walk the remaining 10 kilometers to Gangzur Village. Be sure to confirm the fare with the driver before starting your journey.

• Hiking

  If you are adventurous and prefer hiking, you can make your way to Gangzur Village on foot. Starting from Lhuntse, follow the same route as if you were driving, but take the smaller paths that lead through the forests and hills. This option requires a good level of fitness and preparation, including adequate water and food supplies. The hike will be challenging but can be very rewarding with breathtaking views. Expect to spend several hours to reach the village depending on your pace.
