TRASHIGANG TSHECHU

For three days, this tschechu brings together all the inhabitants of eastern Bhutan, including the nomadic communities of Merak and Sakteng, known as the Brokpas, who stand out from the crowd with their unique outfits.

Various sacred mask dances are performed during the festival in addition to other traditional folk songs and dances. The highlight of the festival is Guru Tshengyed's Thongdrol (Guru Rinpoche's 8 events), followed by a second Thongdrol by Neten Chudrug.
