Paro Tshechu or Paro Festival is one of the biggest festivals in the country and takes place over 5 days. The Paro Festival date coincides in springtime when the peach flowers are in full bloom.The tapestry of colors, Rainbow-hued mask dancers against the striking white monastery , decorated singers and pleasant weather, makes the Paro Festival worth witnessing. It also allows for the opportunity for warm social interaction with the locals.
On the first day, all mask dances are held inside the courtyard of the Dzongs. On subsequent days, the festival will then be held at the courtyard outside the Dzong. A thongdrel (large tapestry) will be unfurled on the last day of Paro festival.
Along with the Paro festival , this 6 Night 7 Days Bhutan Tour also includes visits to some popular destinations like Thimphu, Punakha & Paro.

Bhutan's Best Inbound/ Aargam Tours is the Best!!! A Magical Journey of a Lifetime!
I reached out to 4-5 different tour companies while planning our trip. From my first email with Bhutan's Best, I knew this was the place for us. We wanted to plan a customized trip for just my family with a lot of flexibility to stop and go as we choose. I sent over a long list of places I was interested in visiting and within a day, Thinley, the owner sent me a very thoughtful daily itinerary that covered all the spots I wanted to visit with other suggestions in the mix.
Thinley held my hand through every step of the booking process, making it so easy and worry free, from booking places we wanted to stay, getting plane tickets, the visa, and payment. It sounds like a lot, but Thinley pretty much takes care of everything, making this a seamless experience. No stress.
When we arrived in Bhutan, we met with our Guide, Tshendu and personal driver, who made us feel welcome and at home. We had a large comfy van just for the 4 of us (me, my wife, and 2 girls age 9 and 12). Tshendu was a perfect match for our family. He is incredibly kind, patient, peaceful, and knowledgeable. Let me emphasize this last point, Tshendu knew seemingly everything you could know about Bhutan, from the history, culture, crafts, nomads, architecture, symbols, sites, stories, etc. He knew the symbols and stories behind Buddhist paintings, in-depth stories of the monks and monasteries. He even helped us uncovered rare crystals on our hikes to temples, as he's interested in geology. I can tell you that very few people are uncovering crystals on the way to Tiger's Nest!
We saw everything on our itinerary and more. They were wonderful at recommending additional spots. We had plenty of time to explore things we were interested in and move on when we saw enough. We ate at wonderful places, and stayed at some magical spots. They were even flexible enough to change a stay last minute after we arrived and realized it wasn't the home-stay we were expecting. They rebooked a 150 year old farm house homestay with traditional hot stone baths. Amazing! This is the type of flexibility we love.
Lastly, I will say that not all tour operators are the same. We passed several other tours and each time my wife and I said, we lucked out with our tour company. Some guides we came across were quite loud and direct. Our guide was super easy and laid back. He was patient even if my kids started melting down or arguing.
Among other things, we love handicrafts and buying unique treasures and our guide helped us find the best spots for this, along with helping us negotiate prices.
I can't say enough about Bhutan Best. I highly recommend them. We will be back again and next time we hope to see Eastern and Northern Bhutan. We will book again through Bhutan Best/ Aargam.
