Events calendar Lhuntse

Bordering the Tibetan region, Lhuenste is one of the easternmost districts of Bhutan. For three days in December, Lhuntse Dzong is the scene of a tschechu very appreciated by the Bhutanese of the extreme north-east of the country who come to cleanse their sins by watching masked dances. One can also observe the colourful Kushithara outfit for which the town of Lhuentse is famous. The program differs little from other tschechu: ritual dances and exhibition of thangkas. On the other hand, tourists are rather rare!
