Tsechus are annual religious festivals held in each district of Bhutan that feature elaborate costumes and dances, celebrating the life of Guru Rinpoche, a Buddhist teacher who lived in the 8th Century.

The National Museum is conveniently located near Paro Dzong and has over 3,000 works of Bhutanese art.

Spend late afternoon touring the town of Paro and watching a spirited match of the national sport of Bhutan--archery.

Feast on Bhutanese, Indian and Western-inspired cuisine, then soak in a hot stone bath at Amankora, one of Bhutan's first luxury hotels.
