Bhutan's tshechu festival calendar: When to Go & What to Expect (2026)

Timing makes or breaks a trip to Bhutan's tshechu festival calendar. Here's a clear, season-by-season breakdown to help you and your clients choose the right window.

Season by season

Bhutan's tshechus are spread across the year by dzongkhag — Paro (spring), Thimphu (autumn), Punakha (winter/spring) and Bumthang (autumn) are the most popular for visitors.

Planning note

Festival dates follow the lunar calendar and change yearly; we confirm exact dates when planning.

  • Gateway: Paro International Airport (or fly to Bagdogra and enter by land at Phuentsholing)
  • Indian nationals need an entry permit (which we process) and Bhutan's Sustainable Development Fee applies.
  • We confirm road and weather status before every departure

TripTrix Voyages handles the complete Bhutan ground experience — permits, stays, transport and guides — at net rates on request.
