Radhi
A terraced village known as the 'Granary of the East,' where households weave wild silk and traditional aprons, and visitors can watch weaving in people's homes.
Radhi lies on the hillside east of Rangjung, where terraced fields turn golden in autumn. Village women are known for handwoven wild silk (bura) fabrics and kira with intricate patterns. With a guide's arrangement, visitors can enter homes to watch the weaving and buy textiles, usually at lower prices than in Thimphu. The village is also a stop on the way to Merak.
