The district has rich spiritual memories, abundant local festivals, folklores, artisans and a historical story of resisting British troops during the Duar Wars. Pemagatshel is the lotus garden of happiness, almost forgotten by travellers but still celebrated in history books.

Pemagatshel literally means the “Blissful Land of Lotus”. It is situated at the South- Eastern part of Bhutan, covering an area of about 1,023 square km with the population of 23,800 and 4,448 household according to the recent survey.

This is the only eastern Dzongkhag where no other dialects are spoken except Tshangla. The district has its own special tourist attractions. Situated upon a dagger-shaped mountain, Yongla Goenpa is one of the oldest and holiest shrines in Eastern Bhutan.
