Festival tours need to be planned in advance for better services especially room accommodation and air ticket booking has to be done as early as possible since most tourists target the festival season. But last minute bookings can also be arranged; it will be difficult but not impossible.
Festival tours revolve around the dates given below and the dates keep changing every year. You will find below a sample tour package.
*Note: Although all efforts have been made to confirm dates, actual dates may be subject to change due to auspicious calculations of Buddhist monks and astrology charts, and unexpected omens. Please confirm with us in advance for particular festival dates.
This itinerary offers an in-depth experience of Bhutan as you will be witnessing one of the greatest of Bhutan’s glorious Himalayan Buddhist dance festivals known as Paro Tsechu. As spring warms the mountains, the dancers in magnificent masks and brilliant silk costumes take on the aspects of peaceful and wrathful deities as they illustrate and re-enact Buddhist teachings and legends. Spring is a beautiful time in Paro, with flowers and blooming trees scenting the air of the peaceful mountain valleys, serene and lovely beneath the snow-covered peaks high above. Witness the once-a-year display of the great scroll known as the Thongdroel on the final day of the festival, which is said to confer great blessings upon the onlookers. Then set out to explore more of Bhutan off the beaten track with various day hikes that will take you through the wilderness to the isolated temples and monasteries and to high passes with breathtaking mountain sceneries that are accessible only on foot, offering rewards normally reserved for much longer itineraries in the high Himalaya. No doubt! This is an ultimate choice to see Bhutan at its best.
