Bhutan Festival Calendar 2027
Bhutan’s festivals, known as Tshechus, are among the most vibrant cultural events in the Himalayas. These festivals feature sacred mask dances, religious ceremonies, blessings, and community gatherings held in dzongs and monasteries across the country. Most dates follow the Bhutanese lunar calendar, so they may slightly change after official confirmation.
