Lhuentse Dzong is a dzong and Buddhist monastery in Lhuntse District in eastern Bhutan. It lies on the eastern side of the Kuri Chhu and is perched on a spur at the end of a narrow valley. The Dzong was initially known as ''Kurtoe'' in the then-isolated Lhuntse District. It is the ancestral home of the House of Wangchuck. While its geographic coordinates are in eastern Bhutan, its cultural roots are central Bhutanese. This was because before road traffic connected it to Mongar, the approach was through a trade route crossing Rodang Pass. ==Topography== The Dzong is located in the Kuri Chhu valley, which is part of the Lhuntse district. The Kuri Chhu is the major river that has formed the scenic valley with high peaks and steep hills.〔 Kuri Chhu is a tributary of the Manas River system, which is the largest river of Bhutan and a major tributary of the Brahmaputra River that drains most of Eastern Bhutan.〔 The road from Mongar to Lheuntse Dzong is a 3 hours drive over a distance of and from its junction at Gangola. The approach to this Dzong is over a flag-stone-paved path over the steep cliffs.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lhuntse Dzong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
