Dungkar Naktshang
Located in the upper reaches of Lhuentse, Dungkar Naktshang is the ancestral home of the Wangchuck Royal Family. The historic estate was built as a traditional manor house by Jigme Namgyal, the father of the First King of Bhutan, Ugyen Wangchuck.
The complex offers a rare look into 19th-century Bhutanese aristocratic life and architectural design. Today, it stands as a preserved historical monument where visitors can explore the family quarters, prayer rooms, and surrounding countryside that shaped the country’s modern political history.
