as a niche tourist country, festivals will not be as crowded as other places.
Bhutan has many festivals throughout the year, which can be divided into three
categories: traditional festivals, non-religious festivals and religious
festivals. The most famous festivals are Winter Solstice, Bhutan New Year,
Monsoon Start Day, National Day, etc. In addition, there are various religious
festivals in Bhutan. Except for the National Day, the King’s Birthday, and the
ascension of the throne, most of the festivals in Bhutan are calculated
according to the Bhutanese calendar.
Mask dance
Bhutanese have a very special way of celebrating festivals. On festivals(including public holidays), Bhutanese usually hold prayer ceremonies and
perform religious dances and theater performances. Bhutanese usually wear human
and animal masks when performing religious dances and theater performances. The
masks of humans and gods focus on various expressions of heroes, demons and
monsters in armor, to show their loyalty, meanness, greed, humor and other
expressions; animal masks are most common in deer, yak, sheep and birds.
Tshechus
In addition to the traditional Buddhist dance and mask dance performances, there are also traditional song and dance performances by people from all over
Bhutan. This is an opportunity to understand the life of Bhutanese, and it is
also a good opportunity to take portraits.
Archery competition
There are different festivals all over Bhutan. The main Bhutan celebrations are in early March and early October. The most important festival
is Tshechus Festival, usually in early March. There are also festivals in
Punakha and Thimphu, usually in early October. Therefore, early March and early
October is also the most prosperous tourist season in Bhutan. If you plan to
travel during these two time periods, you must make arrangements in advance.
These festivals are all Buddhist festivals. They are all three-day activities. You can see traditional Bhutanese singing and dancing, as well as
Vajrayana dance and other activities.
