About this event

Ancient temple festival famous for the sacred Tercham (naked dance) performed at night.

Cultural meaning

The Tercham is a fire-blessing ceremony, not a performance — it is deeply sacred to the community.

What to wear

Very cold after dark — bring heavy layers.

Photography

Photography of the Tercham is restricted; your guide will brief you.

Date note: festival dates follow official confirmation by the organiser. Lunar-calendar conversion is planning assistance only, and previous-year dates are never reused automatically.

Need help or something went wrong?

Staffed assistance, emergency coordination and one entrance for any complaint — before, during and after your trip.
