List of Holidays in Bhutan – 2009

When you are planning your trip to Bhutan, it is a good idea to be aware of the Bhutanese national holidays. On these holidays, all the government offices and institutions are closed. Which means all the museums, banks, etc. are closed. But the good thing about these holidays is that since most of these holidays are religious holidays, there is always something happening in the dzongs and the temples and monasteries. It is a good opportunity to see the religion playing a big role in the daily lives of the people.
