The Druk Wangyel festival was established in 2011 and it is held annually on 13th December at Dochula Pass attracting lots of visitors from outside the country.
Unlike any other festival in Bhutan, Druk Wangyel Festival is performed by Royal Bhutan Army rather than monks as a tribute to the wise leadership of His Majesty Jigme Singye Wangchuck, the fourth king of Bhutan.
The Grandeur of the 108 stupas also known as “Druk Wangyel Chorten” stands at an elevation of 3100m on the east-west road from Thimphu to Punakha. A 360 degree panoramic view of snow covered Himalayan mountain ranges are visible from the pass on clear winter days. It is popular among tourists to capture beautiful pictures and it is common to see Bhutanese families enjoying the weekends and holidays to picnic near the chortens with packed lunch and hot butter tea.
The 108 Stupas also known as “Druk Wangyel Chorten” were built under the commandment of Queen mother, Azhi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck, to commemorate the memory of the soldiers killed in the 2003 war against insurgents from India and victory under the guidance of His Majesty The Fourth King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck.
