Gasa Tshechu
The high north's festival, with hot springs waiting below the dzong.
Three days of cham at the fortress that guards the northern passes — then a soak in the tshachu the district is famous for.
Gasa Tshechu is what a festival looks like at the end of the road: the district’s scattered highland communities converge on the small dzong, Layaps walk down from 3,800 metres, and for three days the courtyard holds more people than the district’s villages do the rest of the year.
The pairing that makes this journey sing is below the dzong — the Gasa hot springs, where festival goers finish the day in the mineral pools. Cham above, tshachu below; there is no better designed festival weekend in Bhutan.
