Hanging your Prayer Flags, Various Locations

Bhutan, Various Locations
Hanging your Prayer Flags
  • Info
  • Holidays
  • Map

Bhutan is practically crisscrossed with prayer flags and they’re usually somewhere in the frame on any photo taken on a holiday here. Join your guide for a stroll around the local market where you can purchase a set for yourself, then when the moment arrives during your trip you have the chance to add your own set. Your guide will teach you more about the meaning and symbolism of the colours and emblems on each flag. In simple terms, each colour on the string of flags represents and different element and it is believed that when these flags catch the wind, a blessing is activated. The higher you hang the flags the better chance there is of your blessing catching the wind, so it is rewarding to hang them when you reach the highest point of any hike or walk you take.

You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively for you.
