What you'll do

Try your eye at Bhutan’s national sport Archery is the national sport of Bhutan, and even more so, a nationwide obsession, and can be watched in any part of the country over the weekend. Enjoyed as a group activity, targets are typically set approximately 145 m (475 ft) from the archer, making for a fun experience suited for the whole family. Every village in Bhutan sports an archery field, and no festival or celebration is complete without a game. Traditional tournaments between villages are battles for honour, and include an array of feasts and prizes.
