A district known for abundance in natural resources, Samtse is located in the extreme corner of South-western Bhutan. Due to its remote location and no commercial town nearby, it is least explored by travellers, thereby making it the most pure and untainted place to be included in your bucket list. The town depicts a perfect blend of religions, where both Hinduism and Buddhism are widely practised. Surrounded by forests, the district typically experiences hot and humid climate, making it a home for various flora and fauna. Since majority of the locals indulge in farming, it will be a good idea for a farm visit during your stay.
Samste does not feature amongst the most popular attractions; however it has many interesting places to visit. One of the most important is Samtse College of Education, which is one of the premier educational institutes of the country. On the other hand with many Hindu temples in the district, your visit seems incomplete without visiting few of them. Hindu Mandir of Samste, Samste Khorlo Chorten, Tendu community temple are some of the must visit temples.
