Tashigang district used to be the largest district in terms of population and land mass until 1992 when a new district Trashiyangtse was created. People here speak Sharchop, a dialect spoken in eastern Bhutan. Trashigang town is located in a small valley, crowded with houses as it has very limited space to expand. This place is busy as people going to Samdrup Jongkhar, Trashiyangtse, Merak, Sakteng, Radhi etc, all pass through it.
