Whilst, a number of strategically located fortress-monasteries and scattered settlements, provide a full measure of cultural interest. At Lhuntse Tsechu, you are not likely to come across many other foreign visitors other than the locals because of its remoteness. You can see the ancient old religious mask dances that are performed by both monks and laymen in brilliant costumes re-enacting the legendary events, accompanied by blaring horns, booming drums, and clashing cymbals as they whirl and leap around the ancient old courtyard of a Dzong (Fortress). Crowds of people gather in their finest hand woven dress, brightly patterned cloth for which Lhuntse region is renowned for, creating an intensely colorful and exciting atmosphere that had remained unchanged in its traditional purity for centuries.
