Festival Tour

Religious festivals called Tshechus have been integral part of Bhutanese culture since it was first arranged by Guru Rinpoche in Bumthang.

 

Now, Tshechus with their mask dances known as chamms, celebrate the great deeds of Guru Rinpoche and is themed around the subjugation of evil, and the purification and protection from demonic spirits. These themes are usually interwoven with tales of morality and the routine varies with the regions.

 

These festivals with the chamms are believed to bring blessings to onlookers and are looked forward to by the villagers. The villagers attend the festival with their families dressed in their best attires and with packed lunches.

 

The Tshechus provide a perfect opportunity for our guests to get a glimpse of the Bhutanese culture. Our itineraries are prepared in conformity to the festival dates.
