Grad Daga, Military fortress in Dagana District, Bhutan.
Daga Trashi Yangtse Dzong stands on a ridge overlooking the valley, featuring traditional Bhutanese architecture with intricate woodwork and painted decorations throughout its structure.
Established in 1951, the fortress was constructed under Drugda Namgyel following orders from Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel to defend against southern invasions and control the region.
The fortress contains notable religious artifacts, including a substantial buffalo horn measuring over four feet that dates back to the early sixteenth century.
The dzong requires 120 workers for ongoing conservation efforts, with current projects focusing on constructing new accommodations for the resident monastic community.
While serving as both a military base and monastery, the fortress houses only forty of its registered two hundred and seven monks due to space limitations.
