As twilight settles over the valley, the scent of earthy spices drifts from the kitchen, and soft traditional music welcomes you into a candlelit courtyard. This isn’t just dinner—it’s a celebration of Bhutan’s living heritage, curated exclusively by Raven at a local farmhouse.
The evening begins with a graceful welcome dance, setting the mood for what’s to come. Soon, masked dancers whirl to the beat of longhorns and drums, performing sacred Cham dances rooted in Tantric Buddhist rituals. Each movement is symbolic—meant to bless, protect, and retell stories passed through generations.
The Yak Chham, performed in homage to Bhutan’s nomadic yak herders, transports you to the highlands of eastern Bhutan. You’ll also witness the Zhey, a traditional folk dance performed during festivals. Its rhythm and energy echo the joy of harvest and community celebration.
Between performances, enjoy a meal prepared from local produce—organic vegetables, hand-ground spices, and age-old family recipes served fresh from the kitchen. Archery adds a lively spark to the night, with cheers rising as arrows fly and dancers playfully court the crowd, echoing Bhutan’s ancient flirtation rituals.
This immersive event isn’t staged for show—it’s a glimpse into Bhutan’s soul. Under the stars, surrounded by laughter and stories, you’ll feel a deeper connection to this mystical land.
