When it happens
Prakhar Duchhoed usually falls in autumn and runs for three days.
Where it happens
The festival is held at Prakhar Lhakhang, a village temple in the Chumey valley of Bumthang. It belongs to the lhakhang, not to a dzong (fortress).
Dances and rituals
The festival culminates in the display of a thongdrel showing Guru Rinpoche or another important Buddhist deity.
Being there
Jakar is usually the base for a visit to the Chumey valley.
When their dates overlap, Jambay Lhakhang Drup can usually be paired with Prakhar Duchhoed on the same trip.
