Whichever tour you choose, you’ll experience memorable excursions to serene villages, spiritual temples, and breathtaking landscapes—offering an intimate view of a land that remains one of the last unspoiled corners of the Himalayas.

Thimphu Festival

The Thimphu Festival is one of Bhutan’s most vibrant cultural celebrations, held in the capital city during the lively days of autumn (usually September or October). This grand event showcases the rich traditions of Bhutan through mesmerizing mask dances (Cham), colorful folk performances, and elaborate religious rituals. Visitors can immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere, savor authentic Bhutanese cuisine, and browse stalls selling handmade crafts, textiles, and local delicacies. The festival also provides a unique opportunity to witness the sacred Thongdrel (giant tapestry) unveiling, a moment of deep spiritual significance.

Punakha Dromche

The Punakha Festival, held in the stunning Punakha Dzong (fortress) during late February or early March, commemorates Bhutan’s victory over Tibetan invaders in the 17th century. This historic celebration features dramatic reenactments of ancient battles, traditional Cham dances performed by monks, and elaborate processions in honor of Guru Rinpoche. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Mo Chhu and Pho Chhu rivers, the festival offers visitors a chance to experience Bhutanese history, spirituality, and culture firsthand. Guests can also explore the dzong’s majestic courtyards and enjoy the serene beauty of Punakha’s lush valleys.

Dochula Pass Festival

The Dochula Festival, or Druk Wangyel Tshechu, was initiated in 2011 by Queen Mother Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck. Unique for being performed by Royal Bhutan Army soldiers instead of monks, it commemorates Bhutan’s 2003 victory over Indian insurgents. Held annually at Dochula Pass, the festival showcases traditional dances, music, and honors the courage of Bhutan’s armed forces.

"Dheyma travels are the best travel providers that I’ve met everything on our trip was perfectly planned… Everything… Including needing to “borrow” an airliner to get us to Delhi because our golf game went late!!! This is really important as you will have infrastructure and support on the ground that you don’t have in any other country…."
