Festival Tour Nepal and Bhutan

You will most definitely be invited to celebrate with them as well. With vibrant ornaments and clothing, dancing and singing, festive foods, and vibes, festivals here will amaze you for sure.

In Bhutan, Tshechu is by far the most significant and widely participated festival. It is celebrated at the community level as the religious festival of the Drukpa Lineage, Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism. The Cham dances are the major highlight of the festival with costumed masked dances performing major incidents following the great Guru Padmasambhava and other major Buddhist saints. Similarly, the Black Hat Dance and unfurling of the Thongdrel (Thangka) are other major activities. The whole country is lively with smiles all around celebrating Tshechu. Following the lunar calendar, the Tshechus dates are not constant. However, you can attend the Tshechus after the dates are set for the year. Paro and Thimphu host the most participated Tshechus in Bhutan. For more Bhutanese festival name and date, click here
