Bhutanese-Costume :

Dress in Bhutanese costume by choosing your favourite colour.

The national dress is an integral part of the Bhutanese Identity. Introduced at the time of Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel in the 17th century. Men wear a gho and women wear Kira.

A gho is a long robe fastened with woven belt at the waist and worn to knee length, somewhat akin to the Scottish Kilt.

The Kira is ankle-length rectangular cloth, folded over the body and worn over a blouse known as wonju. The kira is fastened at the waist with a cloth belt called the kera and secured at the shoulders with an intricately cast silver clipped called a koma. A jacket-like garment called the toego completes the essemble.

The set of Kira price starts from USD 40 and man’s Gho from USD 80 onwards.

However the gho and kira made out of silk ,with extraordinarily detailed and intricate pattern  known as kishuthara can cost USD 1000 or more.
