Grand Annual Festival of Bhutan - Thimphu Tshechu
Duration
7 days
Overview
-
Witness one of the largest festivals in Bhutan, Thimphu Tsechu reflecting rich cultural values and unique ancient traditions. Discover the hidden Kingdom of Bhutan, a country that earned its nickname ‘Kingdom of Happiness’ and known for living in complete harmony with nature and the everyday life of its people nurtured by the mindful Buddhist way of life. Go farther beyond the capital city through rugged mountain passes clad in dense forests, beautiful fertile valleys, visit ancient monasteries and fortresses, explore rural Bhutan and taste exotic local cuisine to your heart’s content.
Get access to some of the most rural and natural parts of Bhutan, Phobjikha valley at 3000m elevation. In Paro, hike up to the famous Paro Taktsang precariously perched on an 800-meter rock cliff and enjoy a peaceful moment induced by the sacredness of the monastery.
For the year 2021, the festival takes place on 16 to 18 Sept so you can plan to arrive on 15, 66 or 17 Sep 2021.
