Bhutan Druk Yul Paro - Paro Tsechu festival

The festival takes place every year around end of March/beginning of April, and is one of the most important and well known of all the various festivals that takes place around Bhutan during a year. We visited the festival twice, on the 3rd and last day, and it was interesting to watch what was going on. Impressive were all the people that were there, even early in the morning on the last day.

in adition to all the performances that take place on the festival area, the whole town is influensed, and there are fairs all over the town where you can try your luck, swing the wheel or get a good bargin. Really interesting to walk around and look at all the activities.
