Even though it is most densely populated region, eastern Bhutan remains the kingdom’s hinterland. Roads reach the major towns, but most settlements are hidden in the steep hillsides of remote and isolated valleys, some of which are home to minority ethnic groups comprising less than 1000 people.
Eastern Bhutanese love their home-brewed arra (rice wine) and locally grown green chilies. It is because of the slash-and-burn system of shifting cultivation called tsheri, the forest cover at lower elevations is less extensive than in other parts of Bhutan. The general quality of hotels, food and service in eastern Bhutan is lower than it is in Thimphu and Paro.
