WHY FESTIVAL TRAVEL WORKS
A festival can help you choose your travel dates.
Bhutan’s official tourism authority says the country has more than 160 festivals each year. Many major tshechus follow the lunar calendar, so dates should always be checked for the year you plan to travel.
Festival dates can change from year to year, so we only publish future dates after they have been officially confirmed.
Thimphu Tshechu
A major festival in the capital that can be combined naturally with Paro and Punakha.

Punakha’s festivals can be included in a classic western Bhutan trip without adding a long detour.

Bhutan’s official tourism site describes this annual celebration at Gangtey as a conservation-focused festival welcoming the cranes to Phobjikha.
Plan a Phobjikha trip →Royal Highland Festival
