Bhutan is a unique destination and exclusive largely because of its antiquated Buddhist legacy. It is, in fact, the last outstanding example of a Himalayan Buddhist culture that once spanned both sides of the Himalayas. In Bhutan, this tradition continues to thrive as part of daily life and one of the best ways to experience the essence of this ancient culture is by attending the Tshechu or religious celebration that is watched the whole way across the country on various dates.

The Paro Tshechu is Bhutan’s greatest attraction in spring and a major or draws for tourists. There’s nothing more needed than before the agriculture season picks up steam, which implies that in the past people in Paro valley had time to attend the important religious and social occasion as a family and a community.

During the Tshechu holy moves in brilliant covers and ensembles are performed to the backup of religious instruments in the yard of the seventeenth century Paro Ringpung Dzong or the fortification of the “pile of gems.” The scene itself is an overwhelming structure and brimming with history. The establishing of the Paro Dzong goes route back to the fifteenth century offered the zone in Hungrel to a descendant of Phajo Drugom Zhigpo who set up the Drukpa Kagyu school of Buddhism in Bhutan. At first, a little sanctuary remained there and later a five stories structure was fabricated, which was known as the Hunger Dzong. In the seventeenth century, the structure was offered to Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal who brought together Bhutan. In 1644 Zhabdrung destroyed the old structure and established the frameworks of the new Dzong, which was sanctified two years after the fact as the authoritative and ascetic focus in the valley and the Tshechu initiated as a yearly occasion.
