Gain insight into the beliefs of the Bhutanese

Ura Yakchoe refers to a sacred dance held at Ura Lhakhang of Bumthang. The festival provides a deeper understanding of the beliefs of the Bhutanese people and the traditions followed in this beautiful and fascinating country. The festival features a history of Lama and young women. It is believed that if Lama ever visited a woman in his house he asked for a glass of water. When he went to fetch water when he returned he found that the woman had disappeared leaving a sack. The woman peeked inside the sack and found Chana Dorje's limb also known as Vajrapani who was the protector and director of the Buddha. From there, the statue is held by a female descendant and is in the middle of Ura Yakchoe when the statue is taken down the valley to Ura Lhakhang followed by dancing and drinking in procession.

Once the visitors have finished witnessing Ura Yakchoe, they can go in and explore the beauty of Bumthang. Home to some of the oldest Buddhist monks, Bumthang is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Bhutan.
