TRONGSA
Trongsa
is in the centre of the Bhutan and and four hours
by road from Wangdue Phodrang. The Trongsa Dzong
is a labyrinth of temples, corridors and office
holding court over the local community. Perched on
the rim of the valley, it can be seen from every
approach.
The
Royal family has strong links with Trongsa. Both
His Majesty the King Ugyen Wangchuck, the Penlop
of Trongsa and his successor, king Jigme Wangchuck,
ruled the country from Trongsa's ancient Dzong.
The Crown Prince of Bhutan has always held the
position of the Trongsa Penlop prior to
ascending the throne. The present king continued
this tradition as he was appointed Trongsa
Penlop in 1972 shortly before he ascended the
throne of Bhutan.
