Thimphu Tshechu festival

Thimphu Dzong 3 days Up to 40Free

3-day mask-dance festival in the capital — biggest in terms of audience.

About

Thimphu Tshechu is held annually over 3 days in September/October in the Tashichho Dzong courtyard. It draws the largest crowds of any Bhutanese festival — locals in their best Kira and Gho, plus tourists. Cham dances cover all 12 classic themes. Unlike Paro Tsechu, Thimphu has no Thongdrel unveiling but features additional boen-cham (sorcerer dances) unique to this festival.
