April 3 & 4 Paro Tsechu Festival Annual festivals, or tsechus, at which men and women alike wear their most spectacular, intricately hand-woven clothing, highlight both Bhutanese religious devotion and the love of a good time. Elaborate, spellbinding masked and folk dances are performed for days by specially trained monks, while local families chat with neighbors, feast and enjoy the antics of jesters who lighten the reverential atmosphere.
