King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema have arrived in Thimphu after their visit to the eastern dzongkhags of Bhutan. During the visit, the King and Queen were accompanied by Prince Jigme Namgyel and Prince Ugyen Wangchuck. The Kingdom of Bhutan is divided into 20 districts (Dzongkha: dzongkhags). Dzongkhags are the primary subdivisions of Bhutan.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, all villagers could not gather in one place to offer Tshogchang to welcome the Royal Family, as is tradition in the east. However, the people waited by their homes and shops wherever the Royal Family travelled in order to welcome their King and Queen.
