Find Your Groove with Tsechu
Tshechu, aka the Mask Dance Festival, is the most important religious festival in Bhutan, complete with vibrant costumes and sacred monks. It’s one that can be found in almost every golden-hued temple and dzong complex, scattered across Bhutan’s wild and untamed terrain. For the biggest of celebrations Thimphu and Paro are great, especially for solo travellers but those seeking an escape from the tourist hordes might find lesser-known and visited events are also worth considering.
Walk Your Way Across Bhutan
From serene strolls towards sacred meditation spots to the well-walked paths of the Buddhist pilgrimage, there are countless journeys on foot to be had. Solo travellers can find solace in the great outdoors, surrounded by breath-taking and expansive views of Bhutan, where the rustic and rural charm ripples through every swooping valley and lush green rice field. For a slightly longer trip there’s the Bumdrak trek, where all roads lead to the Taktshang Monastery, that’s nestled proudly in the cliff face. Or save tired feet from throbbing and opt for the easier Nabji Korphu Trek, with equally stunning panoramic views.
