Dechenphug Tshechu
EXCELLENTVerified Cultural immersion in Bhutan Omsha created a custom itinerary for our tour to Thimpu, Paro and Punakha. Our guide Namgay met us at the airport and was courteous, friendly and hospitable throughout. Her knowledge of temples and dzongs was extremely thorough and her enthusiasm to share stories of her culture and good humour made for a truly memorable trip. She took us to some truly spectacular locations and made it a fantastic trip. We will be coming back to Bhutan and hope to see Namgay and our driver Tsewang in future!Posted onVerified We miss Omsha already! Omsha is a fantastic and accommodative travel agency…ideal for visiting Bhutan. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we felt very well taken care of. Our guide, Bijay, was kind, fun, knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend 10 days with. We would recommend Omsha to anybody visiting the beautiful land of Bhutan.Posted onVerified Magical experience in Bhutan An excellent experience, loved the country, the people, the scenery, and the food. This wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for Omsha travel. We evaluated several companies but found Omsha to be the most responsive, flexible, and competent. Our guide, Sanom, was excellent, knowledgeable, and accommodated our needs. The driver, Sharup, made us feel comfortable and safe. I highly recommend Omsha for your Bhutan travels.Posted onVerified Best of the best in Bhutan Omsha provided us with the trip of a lifetime. Nawang was patient and responsive as we created a custom tailored tour. He found off the beaten path activities that provided an intimate look at day to day life in Bhutan. Our guides Sonam and Tashi were warm, funny, and extraordinarily knowledgeable. We left the country feeling that we had gained new family. Thank you to Omsha from the bottom of our hearts.Posted onVerified Beautiful Bhutan Great experience! Fast and responsive communication right from the first WhatsApp message. Visa was sorted very smoothly and everything worked out as planned. I had a very kind and respectful tour guide (Lhazin Dorji) and a reliable driver who ensured a memorable stay. I really enjoyed my short stay in the land of the thunder dragon.Posted onVerified Bhutan Tour OMSHA Travel I had wonderful experience during our tour in Bhutan with OMSHA travel, our tour guide Tashi Tenzin and driver Sun-Zu were exemplerary, very friendly and accommodating in our tour. They guide us in every tourist spots we go and make sure we are safe, and enjoy every moment during our tour. One of the best tour guide and driver I've had.

Plus having one of the bests tour guides- nothing can be asked for! It wasn’t an awkward experience day by day, I get or rather we felt comfortable with them. Total happiness and very good experience..🫶🏻 we were taken cared well by Tashi Tenzin and Sanju!Kudos to them! It was also a hassle free experience and no hints of no can be given to the services provided! It was seamless even though our flight was delayed..Really this country has a lot to offer so the only regret is not having more days to stay and explore more..❤️👍🏻👏🏻All the bestPosted onVerified Eyeopening Experience We booked our Bhutan trip with OMSHA Travel and couldn’t be happier with the experience. We entered Bhutan via the India–Bhutan land border and OMSHA arranged everything seamlessly from the airport pickup in India to ensuring our safe entry into Bhutan. As two young ladies traveling together we truly appreciated the sense of security and care they provided throughout.Our 4D3N itinerary was packed and while we enjoyed every moment I would recommend staying longer if possible. Bhutan has so much to offer and travel time between destinations can take up a fair portion of the day. Sharing a general idea of what you would like to see beforehand also helps OMSHA customize the trip perfectly.A highlight was definitely the Tiger’s Nest Monastery. The hike is breathtaking but also steep and challenging so being reasonably fit is important to fully experience it.Overall OMSHA Travel made our Bhutan journey smooth, safe and unforgettable. Their attention to detail and hospitality left us with lasting memories. Highly recommended.Posted onVerified Good Experience With Sonam and Sunzu We found Omsha Travel as we were sourcing how to get from India to Bhutan overland and his website was very informative. He was also very quick with his replies on Whatsapp which we appreciated a lot. We had a 4D3N tour in Bhutan and the tour was very flexible and customisable, allowing us to choose wherever we wanted to go. Our guide and driver was Sonam and Sunzu (Soju) who were so friendly and we hit it off so well~ they treated us like friends and the conversations with them made us learnt so much about Bhutan. Sonam is very knowledgable with all the history and Sunzu drives very smoothly. Also, the hotels were top notch with very good views👍 We enjoyed the stay and could rest properly after a long day.If I could change anything about the trip, I would stay for more days to fully appreciate the beauty of Bhutan.Posted onVerified A smooth trip The tour was well organised and went smoothly. Appreciate the flexibility of the arrangements in taking into account our energy levels. The guide Sonam was fun and engaging, giving us many stories on Bhutanese culture. The drive was smooth too, thanks to our driver Tewang. All in all, a great trip.

Dechenphug Tshechu – A Sacred Festival Honoring Bhutan’s Guardian Deity
The Dechenphug Tshechu is one of the most sacred and spiritually significant festivals in Thimphu, Bhutan. Held annually at Dechenphug Lhakhang, this tshechu is dedicated to Ap Gyenyen, the powerful guardian deity of Bhutan, and draws hundreds of devotees seeking blessings, protection, and good fortune.
Set amidst the tranquil forests just outside Thimphu city, Dechenphug Lhakhang is a 12th-century temple that holds deep importance in Bhutanese history and religion. The tshechu here is smaller and more intimate than others, but its spiritual energy is unmatched.
At OMSHA Travel, we can include the Dechenphug Tshechu in your custom Bhutan travel itinerary. Whether you’re a cultural traveler, spiritual seeker, or photographer, this festival offers an unforgettable glimpse into the soul of Bhutan.
