Bhutan Festival Tours

Year-round, Bhutan hosts festivals across the country. Bhutanese festivals are characterized by their bright colors, exotic masks, and joyful song and dance. Many of these festivals are known as a “tshechu” which means “day ten”  because each district of Bhutan celebrates one tshechu a year on the tenth day of a lunar month. Each tshechu is a multi-day celebration; however, their lengths vary. The tshechu honors Guru Rinpoche, the saint that brought Tibetan Buddhism to Bhutan. People from all around Bhutan and visitors from other countries join in song and dance to celebrate the Buddhist religion. On the last day of each tshechu, the silk thangka is hung for all to see. This is a scroll painting covered in bright, exotic colors. It is said that when someone sees the thangka, their sins are cleansed.
