Bhutan festival guides and dates

Bhutan's tshechus are religious festivals with masked dances held in dzong and temple courtyards. Dates follow the lunar calendar and change each year. Our festival calendar lists the published dates to help you plan your trip.

Festival weeks are the busiest hotel weeks in Paro and Thimphu, so plan early. Check the calendar for dates, or join our small group festival trip if you would rather travel on set dates with others. A custom trip can also be planned around festival dates if you prefer to travel privately.
