Precautions for Bhutan travel 4 (local travel / tourism)

We will explain in detail about things you should be aware of when traveling to Bhutan (traffic conditions).

About local movement

Except for the Gasa district, 20 major cities in Bhutan have road access. There are high mountains, steep slopes and deep valleys, but Bhutan has a relatively well-developed transportation network. Straight roads and flat roads are rarely seen. There are also roads where you come across 6 or 7 curves in 1km. Crossing the ridge is a feature of Bhutan travel, and due to this road situation, travel will proceed more slowly than usual. The average speed of a car rarely exceeds 30km, and the speed is slower on a sightseeing bus. However, long and sometimes boring car movements can be well rewarded with spectacular views of the towering mountains, lush jungles, ancient villages and majestic monasteries.
Most of the road is paved, but some are bumpy and mostly lanes. Bhutanese drivers are safe on the road. There is almost no traffic jam. Because it runs on roads with many curves, those who are prone to car sickness are more comfortable with bringing sickness prevention.

Traditional festival

The Thunder Dragon Bhutan Festival is a rich and gentle expression of ancient Buddhist culture. These festivals are held in all regions as the guru Rinpoche's legal guide. Guru Rinpoche is a monk who introduced Buddhism to Bhutan in the 8th century. Tsechu (Gul Rinpochu Festival) is auspicious on the Bhutan calendar and lasts for 4 days, during which the mask dance is performed by monks.
Tsechu is a masterpiece of historical tradition that has been passed down in the mouth, and values, myths, and spiritual beliefs that the Bhutanese have passed down through the times through dances and performances. In Tetsuchu's climax, Guru Padma sambaba and the great Buddhist gods appear in colorful Buddhist paintings with silk appliques.
People's deep faith and passion make these festivals special. At the same time, it is an opportunity to join hundreds and thousands of Bhutanese circles and participate in important religious and social events that sometimes create a carnival atmosphere.
Due to the use of the lunar calendar, the dates of the tetsutu change every year. The exact date is available on the Bhutan Tourism Board website: www.tourism.gov.bt.
