There is little to see in this area, other than the busy market which straddles the border. It is also convenient entry and exit point for tourists those wishing to visit Indian state of Assam and other north eastern Indian states along with Bhutan. Samdrup Jongkhar is also a gateway and commercial hub for the five Bhutanese eastern districts. In olden days, it was called Gudama (a corruption of Godown) which means a warehouse for the imported goods. As a trading point, many people from the eastern region of Bhutan exchanged goods and services there with Assamese merchants. The eastern Bhutanese were also able to sell raw silk textiles and other local fabric to western Bhutanese. Today, cash crops like mandarin oranges and chilies are exported via Samdrup Jongkhar to India and Bangladesh. Evening take an exploratory walk around town and local market.
