THINGS TO DO IN THIMPHU EP 12: NIGHT LIFE

Greetings Travellers,

Perhaps you might wonder if Bhutan has a good night life while you're in Bhutan. The options are plenty depending on what you like. But you have to remember that it is only in the capital city and Paro town where you will find that night life is more vibrant compared to other regions in Bhutan. My name is Kinga and this blog is about night life in Thimphu, Bhutan. 

Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan, offers a unique and vibrant nightlife that blends modernity with tradition. While Bhutan is known for its serene and peaceful environment, Thimphu comes alive after dark with a range of options for locals and visitors alike. The city has an array of bars, clubs, and lounges where you can enjoy live music, DJ performances, and a variety of drinks, including locally brewed alcohol. Popular spots include Urban Dumra, Rooftop bar, Alchemy Pub, Garuda bar, etc which is known for its live music scene, and Space 34, a trendy nightclub where you can dance the night away.

Apart from clubs and bars, Thimphu also has quieter options for those looking for a more relaxed evening. Cafés and restaurants stay open until about 9pm, offering a cozy atmosphere where you can enjoy a warm beverage or a traditional Bhutanese meal. Some of these establishments host cultural performances, providing a glimpse into Bhutanese traditions through music and dance. The Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant is a notable venue where you can dine in a traditional setting while enjoying live performances.

Thimphu's nightlife is also a reflection of its growing urban culture, with events and gatherings that cater to a diverse crowd. From art exhibitions to movie nights, the city offers a range of activities that go beyond the typical nightlife experience. While the nightlife in Thimphu may not be as intense as in larger cities, it offers a distinctive charm that combines Bhutan's rich culture with a modern twist.
