Visiting the Tango Monastery is one of the most fascinating things to do in Bhutan as very few people have been to an actual monastery but wonder about the way of life there. The “Yarney” festival is observed here by monks as a summer retreat. This period involves fasting, abstinence from entertainment, eating meals from begging bowls and not stepping out during this period. It is also known for its history and architecture so it’s definitely a must-do.
When and if you find yourself in Thimphu, one of the fascinating things to do in Thimphu would be to visit the Bhutan Textile Museum. You can see beautiful textiles on display with their history, and you can also watch a class and take photographs of students making them.
Tip: This visit might also give you a good idea for a shopping list as you can see the styles you like and ask store keepers to show them to you.
