Orange groves and one of the kingdom's oldest dzongs, on ridges nobody photographs.
Daga Dzong was built in the seventeenth century to secure the south, decades before most of the fortresses the kingdom is known for — and it still stands on its ridge, visited by almost no one.
Dagana is citrus country: in winter the slopes hang heavy with mandarins bound for markets across the border. Its ridgetop villages look south over descending blue ranges toward India, and its trails link them the way roads only recently learned to.
This is the deep south of the old kingdom — for second visits, long routes and travellers allergic to itineraries.
Daga Tshechu each winter fills the courtyard of one of the kingdom's oldest dzongs. See festival dates
