This is the region least known to international tourists. Comprising six districts that touch the Tibetan border in the north and go all the way down south to the sweltering plains in the Indian state of Assam, the variety be it landscapes or climatic zones or ethnic tribes or indigenous customs and traditions or wildlife cannot get any better. It is the homeland of the famous Bhutanese textile, the original of the nomads called Brokpa, and the birding capital of the world, to name a few.
