Experience one of Bhutan’s grandest religious festivals with our 11-day Bhutan Cultural Tour, featuring the colorful and sacred Paro Tshechu. Held annually on the 10th day of the lunar calendar, this festival honors Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava)—the spiritual master who brought Buddhism to Bhutan and Tibet from India.

The Paro Tshechu Festival is hosted in the majestic Paro Dzong, attracting locals from across Bhutan and curious travelers from around the world. Tourists are warmly welcomed to witness the vibrant celebration in the courtyard of the dzong, making it one of the most photogenic and spiritually enriching experiences in Bhutan.

Festival Highlights:

Over three days, the festival presents a spectacular sequence of sacred mask dances and rituals:

• Day 1: Begins with the mystical Shinji Yab Yum dance, symbolizing the union of the God of Death and his consort. Dancers wear ornate costumes and buffalo masks.

• Day 2: Features Chipdrel, a ceremonial monastic procession that welcomes all attendees with music, blessings, and color.
