The Central Bhutan believes and lives in mythologies. The innocence of the local people here is as unadulterated as the wilderness of the region. Many of the remote regions here are still accessed by mules or on foot. Few of the trails and mountain passes are sheltered by tall bamboos that walk with you up-till your destination. Being isolated region, it is usually skipped by the tourists, which makes it more tempting for the adventure seekers. Away from the usual tourist hubbub, this region is drenched in various stories of demons, gods, miracles, magics, curses, blessings. The people here not only believe in these things but they actually live them, making them a part of their lives. The four valleys of Bhumtang is where one might meet quite a good number of tourists. The central Bhutan offers few of the oldest monasteries, The great Trongsa dzong, amazing royal palaces, park forests, temples built around caves etc.
The roads in Central Bhutan have steep turns, falls and climbs. One has to be extra careful while driving and journey, in Central Bhutan, should be avoided during nights.
