FESTIVAL DES GRUES A COU NOIR

Religious festival

Since 1998, the Black-necked Crane Festival celebrates in the courtyard of Gangtey Monastery the return of these sacred birds from Tibet to spend the winter in Bhutan. The black-necked crane is an endangered species, particularly protected in Bhutan because, for the Bhutanese, they would be the reincarnation of the valley's protective gods. For the occasion, children dressed as cranes dance and parade. A way of combining nature conservation and festive spirit!

DRUK WANGYEL TSCHECHU

Traditional Festival Folklore and Fair

To change the spiritual atmosphere of the tschechus, here is a festival animated not by monks or laymen but by the royal army of Bhutan. The Druk Wangyel Tshechu pays tribute to the wise leadership of His Majesty Jigme Singye Wangchuck, the fourth king of Bhutan. A somewhat propagandistic but impressive event that celebrates the efforts of the Royal Army of Bhutan to protect the sovereignty and stability of the country. A unique event against the backdrop of the magnificent Himalayan mountain range.
