Tshechu (Tshe= date and Chu = tenth) is a religious festival which are usually held in the open courtyard of the local Dzong, or monastery, temple, and attended by the local people who come to receive blessings conferred upon throughout the country.
This festival is celebrated in the honor of Guru Rinpoche (Guru Padmasambhava), the great Indian tantric saint who brought the teachings of Buddhist Dharma from Tibet to Bhutan in the 8th century.
Tshechus are grand events where entire communities come together to socialize and witness religious dances. The festivals are generally preceded by rituals and dances performed by monks or trained Lamas in beautifully decorated silk costumes and paper masks with traditional instruments.
The official festival’s date and time are published by the Bhutan Tourism Council. You can go through the tentative Festival Dates here and call us to build a personalized trip based on your desired festival dates.
