Regional/Cultural Day
Druk Gyalpo Zhabten
National holiday, February 21-23. His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck's birthday. The love for the Wangchuck dynasty in Bhutan is not performative; it is genuine and runs deeper than any slogan. Every building displays the national flag, schoolchildren practice their songs for weeks, and even the grumpiest taxi driver will tell you the King is the best thing about this country.
