Phab (Traditional Fermentation Starters)
Phab are traditional fermentation starters used in Bhutanese brewing, handcrafted by women brewers from wild mountain plants and cooked grain. These dried yeast cakes contain complex communities of amylolytic fungi and wild yeasts capable of simultaneously converting starch into sugar and alcohol, forming the indispensable heart of Bhutanese chang and ara production.
Bamboo and Cane Crafts of Bhutan (Tsharzo)
Tsharzo, the art of bamboo and cane weaving, is one of Bhutan's Zorig Chusum (Thirteen Arts and Crafts) and among the most widely practised traditional crafts in the country. Artisans in eastern and central Bhutan produce a remarkable range of functional and decorative objects — from bangchung (woven food containers) and baskets to mats, quivers, and architectural elements — using locally harvested bamboo and cane. The craft is integral to daily life in rural Bhutan, carries deep cultural significance, and faces both preservation challenges and new economic opportunities as Bhutan seeks to balance tradition with modernisation.
Mongar Tshechu
Mongar Tshechu is one of the most important cultural festivals in eastern Bhutan, held annually at Mongar Dzong. Celebrated over three to four days in the eleventh month of the Bhutanese lunar calendar (November or December), the festival showcases eastern Bhutanese mask dances, religious ceremonies, and cultural traditions in a setting that receives fewer international tourists than western Bhutan.
