Ara is equivalent to ema datshi in the world of beverages. It is made through fermentation or distillation of grains like wheat, rice, millet, barley or buckwheat, and its quality depends on the yeast used. While ara is predominantly clear, some variations feature a creamy texture. Although not widely available in restaurants and bars, ara can still be savored at select places. For an authentic experience, visiting homestays is the way to go, where Bhutanese families frequently store jars of ara for special occasions, extending their warm hospitality to their guests.

The 3-day Thimphu Tsechu Festival begins 24th September

Held in the Kingdom's central administrative and religious center, Tashichhodzong, Thimphu Tshechu is one of the biggest and grandest religious and social celebrations in Bhutan. Although the public attends the festival over the course of three days, monks make preparations months in advance. The day and night before the actual festival, prayers and rituals are conducted to invoke the deity. For three days, mask dances are performed, like the Guru Tshengye (Eight Manifestations of Guru Rinpoche), Shaw Shachi (Dance of the Stags), and others. It is an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in the Kingdom’s culture and mingle with locals who are dressed in their finest gho and kira.
This year, Thimphu Tshechu will happen from 24th-26th September.

Nestled in Trashigang, the secluded district of eastern Bhutan, the hidden gems of Merak and Sakteng unveil a fascinating world where the Brokpas, nomadic yak herders, proudly display their remarkable culture and customs. Among their notable traits, their attire shines the brightest. The women wear red and white silk ponchos, red silk jackets adorned with intricate animal designs, and elegant red wool capes. Some may even sport braided black wool jackets as an additional touch of elegance. The men, on the other hand, wear roomy white wool trousers over leather or cloth pants, complemented by eye-catching red wool jackets and occasionally sleeveless outer garments crafted from leather. These distinctive costumes epitomize the unique identity and visual splendor of the Brokpas, creating a spectacle that is both captivating and awe-inspiring.
