Gasa the last Dzongkhag

Early November 2012 I had an official trip to Gasa. I was very excited because Gasa was the only Dzongkhag I had not been. Yes, I had traveled to all other 19 Dzongkhags. And my travel to Gasa made my travels complete for being in all the Dzongkhags of Bhutan.I had always heard of Gasa for its hot spring water and of course being the remotest dzongkhag. Earlier people had to walk but with development it now has assessable roads till the Dzong.

The whole Dzongkhag falls under the Jigme Dorji Wangchuk National Park which is a habitat for many endangered spices of birds and animals. 

Gasa is also a significant place because Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel came to Bhutan through Gasa.

I took some pictures of Gasa with my mobile phone
