Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a festival visit, attending a religious event or arranging a pilgrimage can raise plenty of questions. Here are some useful starting points. If you cannot find what you need, please get in touch.
What is Bhutan Pilgrimage?
Bhutan Pilgrimage is a guide and enquiry-based service to help people discover Bhutan’s festivals, religious events and pilgrimage experiences, and plan the practical arrangements around attending them.
Can I use Bhutan Pilgrimage to find festivals and religious events?
Yes. You can explore festival and religious-event information, discover events by type and location, and contact us if you would like help planning a visit.
Can you help me plan a trip to a festival or religious event?
You can send an enquiry about the event you wish to attend. Depending on your plans and what can be arranged, we can discuss practical travel support such as transport, accommodation, meals and an overall event trip.
Do I need to know my travel dates before sending an enquiry?
No. Approximate dates or a flexible travel period are enough to start a conversation. If you already know the event, destination or number of travellers, include those details in your enquiry.
Does submitting an enquiry confirm my booking?
No. An enquiry is a request to discuss your plans. It does not reserve transport, accommodation, event access or any other service. Details and arrangements will be discussed and confirmed separately.
Are festival and event dates guaranteed?
Dates are shared to help with planning, but organisers may make changes. Please check the latest information before travelling, especially when your plans depend on a particular ceremony or event day.
Can international and regional visitors use the service?
Yes. The information is intended for Bhutanese visitors as well as international and regional travellers interested in Bhutan’s festivals, religious events and pilgrimage journeys. Please include your country of residence and travel plans when enquiring.
Can I arrange a pilgrimage for my parents or older family members?
Yes. You can enquire about a Neykor journey for yourself or on behalf of your parents. Please tell us about their walking ability, mobility needs, preferred pace, rest requirements and any other comfort considerations so these can be discussed while planning.
Do you provide senior-friendly or accessible travel arrangements?
We aim to take age, comfort and mobility considerations into account when discussing a journey. The level of support depends on the destination and arrangements available. Please describe specific needs in your enquiry so they can be reviewed before any plans are confirmed.
What is Choeshey?
Choeshey is the part of Bhutan Pilgrimage dedicated to religious events and spiritual gatherings, including teachings, empowerments, puja and prayer ceremonies, retreats and other special spiritual occasions.
