Jhomolhari Mountain Festival
A celebration at the foot of the sacred mountain, snow leopard country.
Two days of highland culture at 4,000 metres beneath Jhomolhari — yak dances, folk song and snow leopard conservation, reached only on foot.
The Jhomolhari Mountain Festival is the hardest festival in Bhutan to attend, and that is the point: it happens at Dangochang, days up the trekking trail beneath the sacred peak, celebrating the communities who share the high pastures with the snow leopard.
Yak dances, highland song, and the mountain itself filling the sky — for trekkers timing the classic Jhomolhari route in mid October, the festival turns a great walk into an unrepeatable one.
