Nalakhar Tshechu

Bumthang, Bhutan · November/December (Winter)

A village tshechu at the 15th-century Ngang Lhakhang ('Swan Temple') in Bumthang's Choekhor valley, held from the 15th to 17th day of the tenth lunar month — a genuinely local celebration for good harvests, far from the tourist circuit.
