Thimphu Drubchen – One day festival in Thimphu Bhutan
Thimphu Drubchen (Thimphu Dromchey) is one-day festival performed at the Thimphu Tashichho Dzong. The Dromchey showcases the sacred masked dance dedicated to the protecting deity of Bhutan, Pelden Lhamo. It was first introduced by Kuenga Gyeltshen in 1710 when he had visions of the Buddhist goddess Pelden Lhamo performing amazing dances before his eyes while he was meditating. Based on his visions, Kuenga Gyeltshen initiated the dance ceremony. The Dromchey is celebrated 3days prior to Thimphu Tshechu. For more information visit our website:www.kuenphenadventure.com

One of the biggest festivals in the Bhutan is the Thimphu Tshechu. This festival is held in the capital city for three days beginning on 10th day of the 8th month of lunar calendar. The Thimphu Tsechu was established by the 4th Temporal Ruler, Tenzing Rabgye (1638-1696) in 1670 on the 8th month of Bhutanese calendar to commemorate the birth of Guru Rinpoche. It is held on the courtyard of the Tashichhodzong and is considered one of the most beautiful Tshechus in western Bhutan. This Tshechu is witnessed by thousands of people many of which travel from neighboring Dzongkhags (districts) to attend the festivities. The actual Tshechu is preceded by days and nights of prayer and rituals to invoke the gods. The Tsechu is a religious festival and by attending it, it is believed one gains merits. It is also a yearly social gathering where the people gather to rejoice, dressed in finery. In order that Bhutan can rejoice in continued happiness, many learned lamas established the tradition of these dances. The deities of the Ta***ic teaching are invoked during these dances. Through their power and benediction, all misfortunes are annihilated, and peace and happiness reign. When it was initiated by the 4th Desi, Gyalse Tenzin Rabgay in 1867 the Tshechu consisted of only a few dances being performed strictly by monks. These were the Zhana chham and the Zhana Nga chham (Dances of the 21 Black Hats), Durdag (Dance of the Lords of the Cremation Ground), and the Tungam chham (Dance of the Terrifying Deities). The Thimphu Tshechu underwent a change in the 1950s, when the third King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, introduced numerous Boed chhams (mask dances performed by lay monks). These additions added colour and variation to the festival without compromising its spiritual significance. Mask dances like the Guru Tshengye (Eight Manifestations of Guru), Shaw Shachi (Dance of the Stags) are enjoyed because they are similar to stage-theater. Equally important are the Atsaras, who are more than just mere clowns. The Atsaras are the dupthobs (acharyas), who provide protection. The dances and the jesting of the Atsaras are believed to entrance evil forces and prevent them from causing harm during Tshechus. Modern Atsaras also perform short skits to disseminate health and social awareness messages. To farmers, the Tshechu is also seen as a break from farm life. It’s an occasion to celebrate, receive blessings and pray for health and happiness.

Taktsang Lhakhang is Bhutan’s most iconic landmark and religious site. The name Taktsang translates to “The Tiger’s Nest”. This temple is one of the most holy sites in the kingdom and clings impossibly to a sheer cliff face 900 meters above the Paro Valley.
It was first built in 1692 at a cave where Guru Rimpoche meditated in the 7th century A.D. Legend states that Guru Rimpoche flew to the site atop the back of a tigress and meditated in the cave for 3 years, 3 months, 3 days and 3 hours in order to subdue evil demons residing within it. The cave has been considered a sacred site ever since and many famous saints have travelled to meditate in it.
Taktsang Lhakhang is located approximately 10 km north of Paro town at an altitude of 3.120 m. In order to arrive at the temple visitors must trek for around 2-3 hours through beautiful, shady pine forests. No trip to Bhutan would be complete without a visit to this remarkable heritage site.

The Druk Wangyal Khang Zhang Chortens are red-band or khangzang chortens, 108 in numbers, built in a central hillock at the pass, under the patronage of the Queen Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuk. In local language they are called Gyu Las Nampar Gyal wai' chortens or chortens of victory. These were built as a memorial in honour of the Bhutanese soldiers who were killed in the December 2003 battle against Assamese insurgents from India. It particularly marks the victory of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck who dislodged the rebels from their camps (there were 30 camps) in Bhutanese territory from where they raiding Indian territory of Assam. After the war the king went back to Thimphu on 28 December 2003 and at this stage the 108 chortens were being built. They were completed in mid-June 2004 and formally consecrated and sanctified with religious rites held on 19–20 June.

From founding the Nyingma sect to being one of the principle architects of Tibetan Buddhism, it is safe to say that the world may have lost the tradition of Vajrayana Buddhism if it weren’t for Guru Padmasambhava. As Sahapedia co-organises a conference highlighting the life and legacy of Guru Padmasambhava, we outline the importance and contribution of this 8th-century monk, who has often been called ‘the second Buddha’. (Photo Source: Ayan Ghosh/Sahapedia.org)
Guru Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche (the Precious Guru), is an important figure in Buddhism who was instrumental in establishing Vajrayana Buddhism in Tibet around the 8th century CE. Although this may not be widely known, there were initially three schools of Buddhism—Hinayana (which is now also known as Theravada), Mahayana and Vajrayana. While the Theravada and Mahayana schools have always had followers in India, the third school, that of Vajrayana (which is the ritualistic path of Buddhism), gradually disappeared in India between the 8th and 13th centuries, concomitant with the decline and destruction of the schools of Nalanda, Taxila and Vikramshila.
However, because of Guru Padmasambhava’s teachings that he had taken to Tibet during his lifetime, the Vajrayana tradition—as we know it—continues to survive and flourish. This is one reason why Guru Rinpoche is also known as the ‘Second Buddha’. ‘He did for Buddhism in the Himalayan region, what Adi Shankaracharya did for Hinduism,’ says renowned folklorist Prof. M.D. Muthukumaraswamy.

The only international airport in Bhutan, Paro International Airport is one of four airports in the kingdom, and lies just six kilometers from the center of Paro Town in the Paro Valley of Paro Dzongkhag. Surrounded by high peaks up to 5,500 meters, it is rated as one of the world’s most challenging airports for landings. Only a selected number of specially-trained pilots are permitted to fly the aircraft into the airport, and all flights are restricted to daytime hours only, from sunrise to sunset. The only airport in the kingdom until 2011, it is easily accessible by road from both Paro and the Bhutanese capital of Thimphu, which lies around 54 kilometers to the east of the airport.
History of Paro Airport in Bhutan
The first airstrip at the location of the Paro Airport was built in 1968 by the Indian Border Roads Organization. The airstrip was originally only intended for use by on-call helicopter operations by the Indian Military on behalf of the Bhutanese government, and was not used for commercial flights for another 13 years.
The airport lies in a deep valley, and the first runway that was built was just 1,200 meters long. This meant that only 18-20 seat Short Take Off and Landing (STOL) aircraft could be used, but would have to be able to climb at a high rate due to the high mountains, and fly from Paro to Kolkata without refueling. The first 18-seat Dornier 228-200 was ordered in January 1983, and landed at the airport on January 14 of the same year. The flight was predetermined by the high lama of Paro Dzong so as to be set around auspicious dates and times for good fortune.
Paro Airport in Bhutan
Paro International Airport is the only international airport in Bhutan.
The first inauguration flights by Drukair, the flagship carrier for Bhutan, ran on February 11, 1983, departing for Kolkata and returning the following day. At the time of the flight, the airport facilities consisted of the runway, a small air-traffic control building on the ground floor, which doubled as the check-in counter, and the departure lounge, which was the lawn outside the building. The airport runway was lengthened in 1990 to allow larger aircraft, and a hangar was built to house the two planes of Drukair, which was funded by the government of India.
In November 1988, the first jet, a Bae 146-100 was delivered to Paro Airport, and went into service from December 1988 to October 2003, when it was replaced by the carrier’s first Airbus A319-100. In December 2011, Tashi Air, the first private airline in Bhutan, began operations out of Paro Airport, operating as Bhutan Airlines, and by the end of 2012, it was reported that more than 180 thousand passengers had passed through the airport throughout the year. The terminal building was updated in 1999, to include a better air-traffic control building, as well as a separate building for check-in and departure lounge.

The phrase 'gross national happiness' was first coined by the 4th King of Bhutan, King Jigme Singye Wangchuck, in 1972 when he declared, “Gross National Happiness is more important than Gross Domestic Product.” The concept implies that sustainable development should take a holistic approach towards notions of progress ...
The concept of GNH has often been explained by its four pillars: good governance, sustainable socio-economic development, cultural preservation, and environmental conservation.

Bhutan is rich in cultural diversity and this richness ....is further enhanced by the wide variety of elaborate and colorful religious festivals that are.celebrated throughout the country. Every village is known for their unique festival though the most widely known is the annual Tshechu, an annual religious festival.
As the Tshechu begins, the villagers and the general populace dress in their finest clothes and ..congregate at their local temples and monasteries .where these festivals take place. Tshechus are usually occasions to mark important events in the life of the second Buddha, the Indian/Pakistani Ta***ic master known as Guru Rinpoche or the Precious Master. Various mask dances are performed together with songs and dances for three days on average.
These religious celebrations are lively, high-spirited affairs during which people share meals of red rice, spicy pork, Ema Datshi and Momos (pork/beef dumplings) whilst drinking the heady traditional rice wine known as Ara. These occasions provide the villagers with a respite from the hard labor of their day to day lives and give the community an opportunity to catch up with family and friends.
