When it comes to festivals in Bhutan, there is much to choose from. Tshechu is a festival celebrated in order to honour the birthday of Guru Rimpoche though the exact date of the event can vary from place to place. Thimphu Tshechus and Paro are two of the best destinations in which to view the lively cultural festivities associated with this event. Another popular event is the Nomad Festival in Bumthang Dzongkhag where one can view colourful local costumes, sample exotic cuisine and observe the wonderful spectacle of a ceremonial procession. Those visiting in spring should look to take in Paro Tshechu and its many festivities. Held in Paro Dzongkhag, this event features the unveiling of a huge embroidery that has been created by monks and which is believed to be sacred. These are just some of the many festivals one can witness when in Bhutan.
