The Wangdue Phodrang festival is held in the beautiful valley of Wangdue Phodrang. It usually takes place in fall for three days. Wangduephodrang Festival is famous for Raksha Mangcham or the Dance of the Ox.

I visited Bhutan for 10 nights 11 Days through Bhutan Best Inbound Tour. The itinerary was well discussed and well designed by including 4 Nights Drukpath Trek, Wangduephodrang festival and other cultural places of Thimphu, Punakha and Paro. Bhutan is a beauty in itself and the Bhutan Best Inbound Team as the names suggests were the best travel companion I could have ever asked for. I have had the chance to have a wholesome experience of Bhutan with the mixture of Festival- Trekking and Cultural.
I am fully satisfied with the services and arrganements that they have made and would suggest this company to anyone who is looking for a great time in Bhutan, with confidnece.
I wish my best to all the members of Bhutan Best Inbound. Thank you

I just completed my Bhutan Tour.
I believe October is a festival month in Bhutan . Simultaneously we could watch two festival, one in Thimphu and the other one at Wangdue. My dad was really curious to watch the festival.
Their festival is amazing with mask dances and each dance has a story to tell.
It is also a good time to encounter locals of Bhutan.
Mr. Thinley with whom I was corresponding all the while was also very kind to invite our family to join his family for a lunch outside the courtyard of Dzong. It was a fantastic experience. He was also kind enough to arrange their National Dress which we wore and attended the festival .
The other highlights of the tour are Tiger Nest, Homestay, Khamsum Yuley, Enjoying Bhutanese Beer At Namsay Artisinary, National Library which houses the world largest book, museum heritage,farmhouse and short hike.
The vehicle arranged was comfortable. The hotel were clean. Everything was superb except it was a bit touristic in land mark places.
Overall a trip to remember and will definitely recommend them to our family and friends who are looking forward to come to Bhutan after seeing our photos
