Festivals: Bhutan hosts vibrant festivals throughout the year. If experiencing Bhutanese culture and traditions is a priority, plan your Bhutan group tour around festivals like Paro Tsechu, Thimphu Tsechu, Punakha Drubchen, Wangdue Phodrang Tsechu, Jakar Tsechu, Haa Summer Festival, Jambay Lhakhang Drup, Black-Necked Crane Festival, Trashigang Tsechu, etc. Festival dates vary, so keeping an eye on them when booking your Bhutan tour with NatureWings, the best Bhutan group tour operator in India, is a good idea.
