- The Kingdom of Bhutan takes pride in its monarchy. Each year, on the birthday of the King, the kingdom celebrates for three days.
King HM Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck is the current Druk Gyalp, or Dragon King, of Bhutan. On February 21 each year, the citizens of Bhutan celebrate the anniversary of his birth. The King’s birthday is celebrated for three days while he is the reigning king. There are huge festivals and parades throughout the kingdom.
He ascended the throne in 2006 when his father, Jigme Singye Wangchuck abdicated the throne in his favour two years earlier than planned, making Jigme Singye Wangchuck one of the youngest monarchs in the world.
We wish His Majesty a happy & blessed day.
