As the biggest and most important of the festivals in Bhutan, the Thimphu Tshechu is a grand celebration held in the capital city. The festival features a series of masked dances performed by monks and laymen. There are also cultural performances, traditional sports, and a vibrant market selling handicrafts and local produce.
The highlight of the celebration is the unfurling of the sacred Thongdrol (religious scroll) during the early hours of the festival’s final day. The massive Thongdrol, measuring several stories high, is believed to possess immense spiritual power. Even catching a glimpse of it can bring blessings and purify one’s negative karma!
Bhutanese festivals are a big attraction for solo travelers as well as for families. Especially during the festival season every Bhutanese coming for celebration wear their finest clothes.
You too can try out Bhutanese Dress (Gho and Kira) and join the locals. You can also pack picnic lunches and stay all day at the festivals.
