The Thimphu Tsechu will be held in Tashi Chho Dzong in Thimphu. The Thangbi Mani festival will be held at Thangbi Lhakhang in Choskor Valley in Bumthang. The highlight of the festival is the first day of the festival where a Fire festival is performed, basically 2 large heaps of wheat stalk placed 1 meter apart is set on fire and local people run through the burning heaps. This action purifies your body and relieves your sins. An interesting festival and a great opportunity to meet the local people.
