Bhutan Festivals Tours: Bhutan Tshechu Festivals Tours

Bhutan culture's exotic, mysterious, and other-worldly side is fully embodied in its various“Bhutan festivals”. If you are a cultural and photography enthusiast, so be sure to build at least one into your itinerary.

The "Tshechu Festival" is Bhutan's most important religious festival and the most popular among tourists. They are held in honor of Guru Rinpoche, who brought Buddhism to Bhutan in the 8th century. The highlight of the festival is mask dance performances (Cham dances), which are performed by monks or laymen wearing elaborate, brightly colored masks. Each dance tells a story, often depicting religious history or moral teachings. On the festival’s last day, a gigantic thongdrol (painted or embroidered religious picture) is unveiled before sunrise. The Bhutanese believe that they attain merit and eliminate sins simply by attending the tsechus and watching the performances of the highly symbolic dances. Tshechu is also a great occasion for family gatherings and social gatherings. People dress in their best clothes, wearing colorful coral and turquoise jewelry, and gather with friends from different places to participate in the ceremony.

Why Choose a Bhutan Festival Tour

For cultural enthusiasts, it offers a chance to witness Bhutan's most significant cultural events and experience Bhutanese life. Visitors get to mingle with locals, observe their traditions, and understand the spiritual significance of the dances and rituals.

For photography enthusiasts, it offers endless opportunities to capture the essence of Bhutanese culture, from the detailed costumes and masks to the expressive faces of the performers and spectators.

How to Plan a Bhutan Festival Tour?

Every region in Bhutan has its own Tshechu Festival, among which the Paro Tshechu, Punakha Tshechu, and Thimphu Tshechu are the most grand and ceremonious. The dates and duration of the Tshechu in each region vary, but they are usually held around the tenth day of the month in the Bhutanese calendar, within the Dzongs, lasting from two to five days.

Travel with Local Travel Agency of Bhutan

Bhutan's festivals are scheduled according to the Bhutanese calendar, resulting in varying dates each year. We design a series of Bhutan Festival Tours ensuring that travelers get to experience these vibrant cultural events without the hassle of navigating the complexities of the Bhutanese lunar calendar.

2. What are the major Bhutan festivals included in the tours?

Our Bhutan Festivals Tours typically include the most celebrated festivals like Thimphu Tshechu, Paro Tshechu, and Punakha Tshechu & Punakha Drupchen, among others.

3. Are photography and video allowed during the festivals?

Photography is generally allowed, but it's important to be respectful and mindful of local customs. Always ask for permission before taking close-up photos of individuals, monks, or sacred objects. Don’t photograph a member of the royal family, if you happen to be at a festival or gathering where they are present.

4. What should I wear to the festival?

Dress respectfully in modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. Consider wearing a kira (for women) or a gho (for men) to blend in and show respect. You can rent or purchase these garments in Bhutan. Avoid wearing revealing or inappropriate clothing.

5. Is there any taboos during the festival?

Consuming alcohol or smoking in the vicinity of the festival is typically taboo, as these actions can be seen as defiling a sacred space.

6. Can I dance together with the masked dancer?

Traditionally, everybody, including visitors, enthusiastically takes part in the final dance (Tashi Lebey), which concludes all festivities or dance performances.

Private tour to Bhutan

We are Austrians and contacted AOT for a tour to Bhutan. The itinerary was was interesting and all was planed well. Our highlights were the festival in Paro and the walk to the tiger nest. Our guide Mrs. Cheni gave us a good overview about Bhutan`s culture and tradition. During our tour the Prime Minister of India also made a visit to Bhutan and for two day the roads were blocked from 9:00 to 11:00am. In order to reach the festival of Paro before the road blockage Mrs. Cheni organized this trip for 6:00am. We were very satisfied with this tour and will recommend to our Austrian friends the company AOT and the guide Mrs. Cheni.

We had the pleasure of booking our Bhutan adventure with Asia odyssey travel and it was an experience we’ll never forget. It all started with Kyle, who promptly responded to our inquiry for a quotation to Bhutan. Despite our last minute request and the urgency of our travel dates, Kyle was quick to provide us with the necessary details. However, due to a hiccup during the payment process through WISE, it took about 15 days for the payment to reach Kyle. Throughout this period, Kyle was incredibly patient and kept us updated on the progress of the payment. His professionalism in handling the situation and assisting us with arranging the required documents, such as insurance coverage and e-visa, was truly commendable.
Upon our arrival in Bhutan, we were warmly welcomed by our tour guide, Mr Bhim and our driver, Mr wangchuk. From the moment we met them, we knew we were in good hand. They formed a perfect team, seamlessly working together to ensure our trip was nothing short of amazing. One of the highlight was when they went above and beyond to accommodate our request to visit certain areas not initially in the itinerary.
A true testament to their dedication was when Mr Bhim informed us the night before that certain highway and places of interest would be closed the next day due to the state VIP guests. He promptly picked us up at 6:30am to ensure we avoided any inconvenience. Had we waited until 7am, we would have been stuck at the hotel due to State VIP arrangements. Both Mr Bhim and Mr wangchuk made sure our journey started early and ended at 5pm, maximising our time and experience in Thimphu.
Throughout our trip, both Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk went out of their way to make us comfortable. They helped carry our belongings, provided us with umbrella during unpredictable weather, and shared they’d vast knowledge of Bhutanese Buddhism and culture.
A standout moment was trekking to tiger nest, where both Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk accompanied us, sharing stories and insight about the place. It was an enriching experience that made the trek even more memorable.
Overall, our journey with Asia odyssey travel was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the professionalism, dedication and care of Mr Kyle, Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk. That turned what could have been challenging situation into seamless experience, ensuring we had the best time exploring the beautiful country of Bhutan. We highly recommend Asia odyssey travel for anyone looking to embark on an unforgettable adventure in Bhutan.
Thank you, Kyle, Bhim and Wangchuk for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
