Thimphu Tshechu Festival Tour—9 Days of Culture, Color & Connection Join Bhutan’s most sacred celebration with this 9-day cultural journey through monasteries, mountain valleys, and the heart of the Thimphu Tshechu Festival. Watch masked dances at the majestic Tashichho Dzong, hike to the legendary Tiger’s Nest Monastery, and explore spiritual sites in Paro and Punakha—all guided by warm-hearted locals.

Itinerary

Welcome to Bhutan! After landing at Paro International Airport, meet your local guide and drive through peaceful countryside to Thimphu, Bhutan’s capital. Relax, stroll around the city, and enjoy a traditional welcome dinner.

Overnight: Thimphu

Spend the day immersed in the Thimphu Tshechu. Watch monks perform sacred cham dances in colorful masks and robes, accompanied by traditional music. Join locals in celebration—this is both a spiritual ritual and a joyful gathering.

Overnight: Thimphu

Another day of celebration! Enjoy more sacred performances and then explore local highlights like the Buddha Dordenma, the Folk Heritage Museum, and the National Memorial Chorten.

Overnight: Thimphu

Witness the final day of the Tshechu. Early risers can see the Thongdrel, a giant silk appliqué revealed once a year for blessings. Soak in the festive spirit one last time before preparing to head east.

Overnight: Thimphu

Drive over the scenic Dochula Pass (3,100m), stopping to admire 108 chortens with views of the eastern Himalayas. Continue to the lush Punakha Valley, visiting the Chimi Lhakhang (Fertility Temple) and the grand Punakha Dzong—Bhutan’s most beautiful fortress.

Overnight: Punakha

Drive back to Paro, stopping at scenic spots and villages along the way. In Paro, visit the National Museum and explore Paro Dzong, offering sweeping views over the valley.

Overnight: Paro

After having breakfast in the morning, you will drive east to Bumthang, the spiritual hub of Bhutan. Taking a glimpse at the Jakar Dzong in this morning and visit around at one more outstanding dzong of Bhutan. The vibe created amongst lush trees and admiring vibrant painting as well as ancient architecture is literally above anything. On that note, one can also join the cycling tour riding to Ura valley, get to capture the most breathtaking eyeshots along the way then enjoy the beautiful landscape before going back to the hotel in downtown Bumthang.

Take a scenic 2–3 hour hike to Paro Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest), Bhutan’s most iconic landmark, perched on a cliffside 900m above the valley. It’s a powerful spiritual site and one of the most breathtaking hikes in the Himalayas.

Overnight: Paro

Take it slow—explore local markets, visit traditional farmhouses, or simply enjoy the quiet atmosphere of Paro. Optional: traditional Bhutanese hot stone bath.

Overnight: Paro

After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your flight out, carrying memories of sacred dances, serene valleys, and Bhutanese kindness with you.

I went to Everest Base Camp trek in the year 2012 with Shri Deepak Khanal of Osho World Adventure. It was a very good experience to be with Shri Deepakji for this trek. From Kathmandu-Kathmandu, there was nothing to worry if you go with Osho World. You will feel your home in the heart of Himalyan Mountains. The arrangement and planning for the trek was very nice. I recommend Osho World adventure for anybody who want to wander in the Nepal Himalaya. I thank once again to Shri Deepak Khanal for his endeavor in taking and guiding many of us to this beautiful world of Nepal Himalaya. Wish him further success...

Helambu Trek with a awesome Guide We booked the Helambu Trek for 6 days. The processing of the booking was straightforward and the people were very nice. The trek is very nice and varied, the accommodations and the food were very good. We got stuck in Kutumsang due to snow and illness. Our guide Ram did everything possible to bring us back safely. Ram was always looked after and did everything in his power. Our guide Ram became our friend. Thank you for everything. We highly recommend Deepak from Osho Adventures and especially our Guide Ram.

Perfect place for Tailors Tour Packages for Nepal and Tibet We five friends from USA and India visited Osho World Adventure, Kathmandu last month to get support to organize Kathmandu heritage tour packages followed by Meditation and Transformation Camp in Nepal. Mr. Deepak - the owner of the company himself helped us to tailor our tour packages and helped us to organize mediation camp at Tapoban. They helped us to develop our packages such a way that our tour became the most memorial and blessed one. The team is more meditative, spiritual and very kind and friendly. They treat you humanely. You can trust them confidently. Overall, the perfect tour operator in Nepal, where you get services with more personalized.

Лучший проводник в Непале! Знаю руководителя агентства 11 лет. И неизменно сотрудничаю только с ним.Мы обошли всю непальскую часть Гималаев. Это надёжный друг, который находит выход из любой ситуации.В королевстве Мустанг были разные ситуации. Он находит общий язык с местными людьми и благодаря этому качеству Дипака, мы могли проникнуть в таинственные места, куда обычных туристов не пускают. Он поможет вам организовать пуджу, найдёт астролога, организует ведическую свадьбу и полет над Эверестом в комфортабельном вертолёте. Если ваш английский далёк от совершенства - это ваше агентство. Вы сможете обслуживаться на родном русском языке.

Отличное "русскоговорящее" агенство Очень внимательный хозяин Диппак. Встретил в аэропорту с венками, проводил с шарфиками:) Все вопросы решались быстро и без "напрягов" с улыбкой и доброжелательностью. Удивлены были такой заботой, учитывая, что мы не были "крупными" клиентами. В любом случае, местный говорящий на русском - это редкость. А если добавить внимательность, то и вообще бесценный контакт:)

Very nice people and good service We went shopping for a good travel agency in Thamel and we immediately felt at ease at Osho World Adventures. All the staff is really friendly and genuine. Deepak (the owner) even invited us to celebrate a festival with his family. At Osho's, we booked a chitwan tour and we did a trekking. The trekking (nagarkot, chisopani, dhulikhel and namo buddha) was very nice! We stayed at nice hotels and all the meals were included (you can choose from the menu). The guide (Raj) was very friendly and explained a lot about the daily life in Nepal and about the festivals. He also knew a lot about wildlife and took good care of his customers. We always felt very safe. The Chitwan tour was also very nice. Osho provided busseats and arranged the hotel with sightseeings. Hotel Jungle sunset Camp is situated next to the river and next to the olifant bathing. We even saw rhinos from our hotel! We would fully recommend Osho to others who would like to have a good service for a reasonable price and very friendly staff.

Excellente Leistungen Ich und meine Freundin haben uns unsere Nepalreise (Manaslu Trek + Chitwan Np) durch Osho organisieren gelassen. Die Pläne wurden mit zeitlichem Vorsprung abgesprochen, damit wir nicht viel Zeit in Kathmandu verlieren mussten. Letzendlich hat alles wunderbar geklappt und die gesamte Reise erfolgte dann problemlos. Herr Deepak ist sehr flexible und man kann seinen Uralub wirklich individuell gestalten. Fazit: 100% Empfehlung.

A good choice for your trip in Nepal The travel agency's master is very talkative. He will plan your travel immediately and give you advice properly. Not only forehead but also proceed and after about your trip provide you good service.老闆是個非常健談的人。他會依照你所希望的旅遊行程作立即性的規劃,也會給予適當的行程建議。不管是行程前、旅途中或售後服務都很不錯。但希望機場接送的時間安排上可更充足些。
