Worth knowing about Tsirang
- Damphu, the seat of Tsirang District, sits at 1,520 m on the north to south highway running from Wangdue Phodrang down to Sarpang and Gelephu on the border with India.
- Gelephu, at the bottom of that highway, is one of the four land entry points where Bhutan keeps a visitor information centre, and those centres are where arriving visitors buy SIM cards.
- A guide has to be with you at all times in Bhutan, so travel around Tsirang is arranged rather than improvised.
- Arriving by air means Paro, which operates in daylight only under visual conditions, and then a long drive east and south.
