As well as this is an occasion of social gathering for the Bhutanese families. The people come dressed in their finest for the very special occasion. Women wear their most beautiful jewelry, families pack their best food for lunch, men and women joke and exchange tales, and children crane their necks to catch a sight of the day-long dances.These Bhutan festivals tours are designed to participate in celebration and also have a cultural tour of other towns and cities in Bhutan.
