- (1888PressRelease) January 30, 2011 - Thimphu, Bhutan - Yetis and Dragons Bhutan Travel Agency, a leading full-service Bhutan tour operator and travel house which is located on the web at www.BhutanTravelAgency.com today announced its flagship festival tour to Bhutan for 2011, the Nimalung Tsechu Festival in Bumthang.
Yetis and Dragons, a front runner Bhutan tour operator which provides a full suite of travel opportunities in Bhutan, has announced its 2011 Bhutan festival schedule with a majestic customized vacation package featuring the Nimalung Tsechu Festival in Bumthang. Regarded by exotic travel aficionados and eco-tourists alike as one of the most enchanting and amazing festivals in the world, the Nimalung Tsechu Festival will be held this year between July 8-10. The schedules for Bhutan's traditional festivals are modified appropriately each year since they are based on the lunar and not the Christian calendar. The company expects to record a sharp rise in the overall number of international tourists planning to visit Bhutan this year due in part to an improved global economic scenario.
"Surprising as it may sound, tourism in Bhutan is a relatively recent phenomenon and was set into motion only in 1974 when tourists and trekkers were finally allowed to enter Bhutan," points out Lakey Wangmo, founder and CEO of Yetis & Dragons Bhutan Travel Agency, who firmly believes that traditional religious festivals are a great way to immerse oneself in a country's cultural ethos and experience the very essence of a nation and its people.
A Religious Trance
Although more than two dozen "tsechus" or festivals of varying significance are held in Bhutan annually throughout the lunar calendar most of which celebrate significant events in the life of Lord Buddha, the annual Nimalung Tsechu Festival is undoubtedly the most fascinating of them all. It is similar to a Muslim holy journey to Mecca or an Indian pilgrimage to the Kumbh Fair in terms of its veritable size and significance to the Buddhists. Participating in the festival, and more importantly, beholding the ancient tapestry revealed at the conclusion of the festival, is considered a true blessing from the Lord Buddha himself and borders salvation. The giant tapestry featuring Guru Rimpoche, the "second Buddha" who introduced the spiritual path of Buddhism to the Bhutanese people, is unfurled during the festival. Replicas of the tapestry are bought by thousands of tourists and ardent devotees to take home as a memento of the memorable event. Dances are performed by Buddhist monks as well as lay people clad in stunningly brilliant costumes that are not just colorful and artistic but also eye-catching and uniquely different. The celebrations are conducted in a dzong, or fortress and a variety of events are held concurrently indoors as well as outdoors.
