Known as Sha or “east” to the Bhutanese, Wangduephodrang presents a rich ethnic and linguistic mosaic. Most of the people speak Ngalongpakha but in a localized patois form. Other languages include Monkha, Lakha and Mangdekha. A wide range of festivals is also performed, one of the popular ones being the Winter Solstice (Nyilo), and deity appeasement rites such as Lhabon and Bongko.
Economically, Wangdue is becoming the bastion of Bhutan’s hydropower generation. Besides the existing Basochhu Phase I and II hydropower projects, Punatsangchhu Projects I and II are under construction. Environmentally, more than 40 species of mammals inhabit the lush forests of the district, besides 391 species of birds, including the rare ones like the black-necked crane, white-bellied heron and spotted eagle.
