To experience Bhutan fully, there is no better way than come here during one of the country's biggest festivals that focus on culture and traditions.
Thimphu Tshechu: Oct 7 - 9, 2019
One of the biggest festivals in the country is the Thimphu Tshechu held at the Tashichho Dzong annually. Mask dances like the Guru Tshengye (Eight Manifestations of Guru), Shaw Shachi (Dance of the Stags) are performed by lay monks that add color and variation to the festival without compromising on its spiritual significance.
Gangtey Tshechu: Oct 10 - 13, 2019
This festival is celebrated annually in the courtyard of Gangtey Goenpa in Phobjikha valley, famous for the rare migratory black-necked cranes. Different kinds of mask dances and short skits are performed during the three-day long festival. The festival concludes with the Nguedup Langwa (receiving of spiritual wisdom and power), a special blessing ritual.
We would like to offer your a special trip "Bhutan Festival Tour" (October 7 - 15, 2019).
