Day 1 - Local Airport to Bus Station Travel
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Day 2 - Visit to the Thimphu Tsechu
You will be escorted to Tashichhodzong, the venue for the main event. Get your camera and your senses ready for this colour fest. During the event, monks perform dances wearing colourful silk costumes and exquisitely hand-crafted masks depicting deities, demons, and animals.

This is also an opportunity for you to try a traditional outfit.

Highlights of the dance include the dance of the lord of the cremation ground and the narration of the judgment day after death according to Buddhist legend and the unfurling of Thongdrel (large applique) on the final day.
