About this trip

 

The Paro Tshechu Festival Tour offers a deep and enriching exploration of Bhutan's cultural and spiritual traditions. This meticulously crafted itinerary spans several days, inviting participants to immerse themselves in the vibrant celebrations of the Paro Tshechu, which is one of Bhutan's most significant religious festivals.


Paro Tshechu Festival: The focal point of the tour is the Paro Tshechu, a festival that commemorates the birth of Guru Rinpoche, who played a pivotal role in introducing Buddhism to Bhutan. The festival spans multiple days, each with its own unique ceremonies, dances, and rituals. Attendees have the opportunity to witness traditional masked dances, symbolic performances, and religious rituals that offer insights into Bhutan's spiritual heritage. The stunning Paro Dzong, a historic fortress, serves as the festival's backdrop, adding to the grandeur and historical significance of the event.


Cultural Exploration: Beyond the festival, the tour delves into Bhutan's cultural treasures. Participants visit the iconic Tiger's Nest Monastery, a sacred site perched dramatically on a cliff. They explore the bustling markets of Thimphu, the capital city, where they can shop for traditional Bhutanese handicrafts and experience the local way of life. The journey also takes travelers through the serene Punakha Valley, where they can visit the Dochula Pass and the historic Punakha Dzong, further immersing themselves in Bhutan's cultural and natural beauty.


Immersive Experiences: The Paro Tshechu Festival Tour is designed to provide a well-rounded experience. Travelers not only witness the festival but also engage with Bhutanese culture on a deeper level. They can savor local cuisine, participate in activities like archery lessons (Bhutan's national sport), and even enjoy a traditional hot stone bath in a farmhouse. These immersive experiences allow participants to connect with the warmth of Bhutanese hospitality and gain a deeper understanding of the country's unique traditions.


In conclusion, the Paro Tshechu Festival Tour is a comprehensive and unforgettable journey through Bhutan. It combines the spiritual significance of the Paro Tshechu with cultural exploration and immersion in the country's natural beauty. This tour promises to leave a lasting impression on travelers, offering them a profound glimpse into the mystical realm of Bhutan and its rich cultural tapestry.

My recent Everest Base Camp trek with Peregrine Trek was an experience of a lifetime. From the moment I arrived in Kathmandu Marriott , then to Lukla to the day I returned, We used helicopters to and from Kathmandu to Lukla and further due to more reliability . We stopped at Phakding , monjo , Namche , on our trek and further up at pangboche, Dingboche ( where we had great acclimatization ascent and descent) Our lead guide, Mukhiya, was an invaluable asset throughout the trek. His knowledge of the region, his passion for mountaineering, and his genuine care for our well-being made all the difference. He was assisted by Ashish and Renjit, who provided excellent support and encouragement and specially my assistant guide Dorji, and both porters Gyan and Dilkumar . Yeti Mountain Homes lodges, which offered comfortable and clean accommodations throughout the first three nights of stay in the trek. The highlight was our stay at the Everest View Hotel, the highest hotel in the world. The breathtaking views of Mount Everest from our room as well as terrace were simply unforgettable. The itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to acclimatize gradually to the high altitude. We trekked through diverse landscapes, from lush forests to barren mountain passes, and encountered a variety of wildlife along the way. The daily briefings provided by our guides could have been better and their knowledge of flora , fauna was patchy, and without WiFi we lacked the education I expected from them. The trek to Everest Base Camp is very very challenging, The sense of accomplishment we felt upon reaching the base camp was immense. The stunning views of the surrounding peaks, including Mount Everest itself, as well as Ama Dablam, Pomori ,made the entire journey worthwhile. Mt. Everest Lhotse ,Nuptse Ama Dablam,Kangtega and Thamserku to name few The entire Peregrine Trek team especially the guides and porters went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and safety. They carried our luggage, and assisted us with any special requests we had and I was fortune to hire two porters just for me with extra payment . Their attention to detail and personalized service made was excellent. Our return was a Heli ride with sops at Kala Pathar and Gokyo lake and then Lukla for additional cost . If you are considering an Everest Base Camp trek, I recommend Peregrine Trek with its owner Pradip Karki always available on WhatsApp or mobile . Certain additional hints : Carry disposable urinal packs for gorakshep where rooms lack bathrooms Hot water bags for last 2-3 days Chapsticks Electrolytes tablets Pillow covers Optional sleeping bag for last 2-3 days ,-20’C verified For Indian travelers , take adequate Indian dehydrated ready to eat packs where you just add boiling water Always have fulfilling breakfast in morning Water bottles with long spouts Layered clothes UV protective sunglasses Adequate back up medicines especially loperamide , Stool softeners , Cetrizine , otrivin, Vicks inhalers ( worked like charm ), Vicks cream , NSAIDS, acetaminophen , I used .25-.5 mg alprazolam which generally not recommended but few of us used it to get good nights sleep and didnot see any breathing depression. We didnot use energy bars etc which is highly cited by people , and actually offloaded few of those to lighten our backpack I carried my GoPro and put it on my Sherpa head , and taugh hi how to use it Overall a great fulfilling trip ,

Excellent experience on our 17 day tour of Bhutan and Nepal with Peregrine. Dealing with Pradip was seamless. He worked with us to tailor our trip to exactly what we wanted, with a great combination of cultural activities and excellent trekking in Bhutan. The choice of hotels was very good, as well as the quality of the tour guides/trekking leader. Thank you again! Daniel and Betina

I had a great experience; a trip of a lifetime. The accommodations and food were excellent considering the locations along the trek route. A special thank you to our guide Mr. Lama who worked tirelessly to meet our group's needs. The itinerary was doable for our group which ranged in age from 40 to 68 years old. Take note of the potential need for a time buffer for the trip as we experienced a two-day snowstorm after reaching Base Camp that delayed our helicopter return to Kathmandu. Again, a trip of a lifetime!

We had been wanting to visit Nepal and Bhutan and decided to do so. I chose Perigrine based on the Tripadvisor reviews. What a great choice! We have nothing but accolades for this company and especially Pradip. Pradip was always available to answer our questions both in the US and in Nepal/Bhutan. No detail was overlooked - transportation, hotels, guides, and tours. Everything worked like clockwork. We toured all day and were pleasantly exhausted when we returned to the hotels and ready for dinner and a good night's sleep to begin the next day. We are already recommending Perigrine to our friends. The first thing that impressed us was the warmth and friendliness of the Nepalese people. We loved the historic district of Kathmandu, viewing the sunrise over the Annapurna range in Pokhara, and the wildlife in Chitwan. We were impressed by pristine Bhutan and the Buddhist culture. We were sad when parting from our guides and even sadder boarding our flight back home.

The tour of Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan was fantastic. We got to experience the culture and history of Kathmandu, the natural beauty of Pokhara, and the wildlife of Chitwan. The tour guides were knowledgeable, and the accommodations were great.
