>>6692896Currently, we haven't done much to exactly "commercialze" tourism, but that might change in the future (after the elections).One of the more common festivals that we celebrate is called the tshechu which is celebrated on the 10th day of a particular lunar month. The particular lunar month varies from dzongkhag (district) to dzongkhag and is decided upon by the college of Bhutanese astrology. There are a few other festivals that are specific to particular regions like tge Thimphu and Punakha Drupchoe.
A dish that you can't escape from in bhutan is Datshi (similar to cheese curry) the most common variation of which is ema(chilli) datshi. But you'll also find shakam(jerky), nyakam(dried fish) datshi among may others. You could also try a few momos (which are dumplings native to most himalayan cultures). And here again there are quite a few dushes specific to certain regions.
We don't exactly have museums...well we do have one in Paro but its the only one in the nation. This i think is mostly due to our isolation from most of the rest of the world till the early to mid 20th century. So there is a sense of "preserving our culture".
