Festivals In Tibet

Situated on the roof of the world – Tibet has its own unique culture and many different festivals. Most of the festivals are related to Buddhism.

The Tibetan year is based upon a lunar calendar of twelve months, with the Tibetan lunar new year usually beginning sometime in February. Each month consists of thirty days, with the full moon on the 15th day and the new moon on the 30th day.

The majority of Tibetan festivals are religious in nature. Also, on the 8th, 15th and 30th of each month, most monasteries will have tshok, “offering ceremonies,” for the medicine Buddha, Öpame and Shakyamuni, respectively; on the 20th day there is an offering to the Khandroma.

On the 10th day of every month, the Nyingmapa tradition celebrates special Guru Rinpoche days, the most important of these being in the sixth month to commemorate his birth.

Other important festival in Tibet called Saga Dawa. The Saga Dawa festival held for the whole month of April. On the 15th day of this month, is the anniversary of Buddha Shakyamuni’s born, death and enlightenment. This is the most important and holy month out of all the religious festivals in Tibet.

We have festival tours as below. It’s worth visiting Tibet when there are holding festivals and you will experience the real Tibet.
