Is Bhutan the happiest country in the world because of its many festivals? Perhaps so, as it is commonly believed in Bhutan that if you witness a tshechu (a Bhutanese religious festival) you will be bestowed great luck and will have your wishes realized. This beautiful Himalayan Kingdom is widely known for its untouched beauty as well as exuberantly earning its name as the ‘land of festivals’. Every temple and Dzong in the country holds one Tshechu every calendar year and everyone participates.

Bhutan is a magical Himalayan kingdom settled between India and China. Known as the happiest country in the world, Bhutan is full of beautiful temples known as dzongs and monasteries where resident monks spend their lives chanting and praying. As a Buddhist country, it is full of lhakhangs, ‘houses of gods’ and covered with stupas or chortens, sacred religious monuments. All sitting against the striking backdrops of pristine valleys and fresh pine covered mountains. A journey into Bhutan is a sacred pilgrimage like none other. Wade into culture and living history so rich and deep that your spirit will feel renewed.
