Trip Details

    The Paro Tshechu Festival is one of Bhutan’s busiest and biggest events, dances are performed by trained monks and laymen who wear impressive outfits, witness the exciting active lifestyle when visiting several historic sites in Bhutan.

    The unfolding of the silk thangka – so large it covers the building’s face and is deemed one of the most precious blessings in Bhutan as a whole. The ‘Thangka’ is a holy image scroll classified as a Thongdroel that is shown for a few hours, during the daybreak of the festival’s final day, enabling the people to receive their blessing. This holy scroll ‘confers salvation through its pure sight’ (the sense of the Bhutanese word ‘thongdroel’). This festival is a time for Bhutanese to celebrate with families and friends.

    The ‘Tsechus’ are sacred Buddhist rituals in which masked dances portraying incidents from Padmasambhava’s history, the Nyingmapa Buddhist tutor of the eighth century (second to Buddha) and tales of other saints are staged. Padmasambhava is named ‘Guru Rimpoche’ in Bhutan. At the Paro Tsechu festival, the dances are performed by skilled monks and laypeople wearing costumes that represent the beings you would expect to encounter after death. In addition to attending the Paro Tshechu Festival, we also do sightseeing in the Valley of Paro, Thimphu, and Punakha with several historic places.
