Enjoy one of the festivals in Bhutan
One of the highlights for a visit to Bhutan is to attend a tsechu or festival held at a major dzong (fort-monastery).
Held in honour of Guru Rinpoche, who brought Buddhism to Bhutan, the tsechus are taken very seriously by the Bhutanese who have unquestioning faith in their religion.
As well as bringing the devotee great merit, it is also a time of much rejoicing and merriment for all and a colourful and enthralling event that you will enjoy.
Due to the high number of tourists at this time demand for accommodation is extremely high so specific hotels cannot always be confirmed in advance and there can be lastminute changes to itineraries.
If you wish to visit a festival during your time in Bhutan please book early and take plenty of film as the vibrant dances are a riot of colour and a photographer’s delight.
