Living Heritage

Cultural Experiences in Bhutan

Bhutan has preserved its ancient Buddhist culture like nowhere else on Earth. Experience traditions that have remained unchanged for centuries.

Visit massive fortress-monasteries that serve as centers of religious and administrative power. Marvel at traditional construction without nails.

Try Bhutan's beloved national sport. Watch local tournaments with singing, dancing, and good-natured competition.

Live with a Bhutanese family in a traditional farmhouse. Share meals, help with farm work, and experience daily rural life.

Receive blessings at ancient temples, watch monks debate Buddhist philosophy, and spin prayer wheels for merit.

Learn traditional textile arts from master weavers. Try your hand at the backstrap loom and create your own pattern.

Step back in time at this 19th-century farmhouse museum. See traditional tools, household items, and daily life artifacts.

Dress modestly at religious sites. Remove shoes and hats before entering temples. Long sleeves and pants are respectful.

Always ask permission before photographing people or inside temples. Some sacred areas prohibit photography entirely.

Walk clockwise around temples, stupas, and mani walls. Spin prayer wheels clockwise to send prayers heavenward.

Bow slightly with hands pressed together for a respectful greeting. "Kuzuzangpo" means hello in Dzongkha.
