Jakar Tshechu Festival

Tshechu means “Day Ten” is an annual religious festival held on the 10th of the month in every district of Bhutan. It is an annual event and each district holds the event at different time of the year. Spring and autumn are the best seasons visiting Bhutan when the sky is clear and weather is nice and there are some major festivals around the country that you may attend.

Jakar Dzong
Jakar literally means “white bird”, named after a myth of a white bird searching for an auspicious location for a monastery in 1549.
賈卡(宗)堡是不丹中部布姆唐的城堡, Jakar 是『白鳥』的意思,根據當地的傳說,有一隻白鳥於1549年在這裏盤旋尋找一個興建寺院的福,城堡因而命名。

Similar to other fortresses, you have to walk through some buildings to reach the courtyard. You can’t really tell the space inside each fortress because the central courtyards and other buildings are shield by the spectacular white walls of the building.
跟其他城堡差不多,賈卡堡的中庭要經過一些建築物才可以到達。不丹的宗堡(城堡)都相當宏偉,在外面根本無法估計這個城堡內有多大。
