Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary, set high up in the Neyphu Valley, nestled among pine trees and rugged cliffs, and the first and only five-star wellness-inclusive luxury resort in Paro, is inviting guests to immerse themselves in culture and celebrate the local Paro Tshechu Festival from 7th – 14th April, 2025.
The Paro festival always falls in the spring, just as the blossoms and magnolias start to bloom and follows the 10th day of the second month of the Bhutanese calendar. Regarded as one of the most famous Bhutanese festivals, with its origins dating back to the mid-17th century, the colourful festivities include dance, folksongs and musical performances by locals and monks alike.
The festival spans five days of vibrant spectacle that unites Bhutanese people from around the globe to honour the enlightened Guru Rinpoche (Lotus-Born Teacher) who established Buddhism in Tantric. Bhutan is known as the Land of the Thunder Dragon and is rich in cultural history, natural surroundings, wellness offerings and spirituality.
The destination offers an experience like no other, from ceremonies with monks to hiking high above the clouds to the Tigers' Nest monastery. Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary offers a unique retreat to discover Bhutan in all its unspoiled glory.
