Have you heard of the Saga Dawa festival on June 18th, 2027? It's also known as the Buddha's auspicious day and is celebrated in Tibet on the 15th day of the fourth month in the Tibetan lunar calendar. "Saga" means fourth, and "Dawa" means month. It's an extraordinary celebration!

Experience the magic of the full moon on June 18th during the 2027 Saga Dawa festival! We invite you to join us on June 10th, 2027, for a memorable 17-day Saga Dawa Tibet Group Tour adventure. Similarly, the full moon day of June 7th, 2028, will also be celebrated as the Saga Dawa festival.

Due to the snow at Drolma La, a whopping 5,600 meters high, the Mount Kailash trek is only possible from May to October. We are pleased to announce the publication of a new Tibet tour, Mount Kailash trekking Photoblog.

This is the beauty of the festival. It is significant for Buddhists, as it occurs when three essential festivals for followers of Buddha, Shakyamuni, fall in a single month.

1. Why is Saga Dawa important?

It is an extraordinary time because it's all about celebrating Buddha Shakyamuni! This is the month he first came to our world, became enlightened, and passed into Parinirvana. It's a time to remember and honor his incredible teachings and presence.

2. Best months to acquire merit.

During this auspicious month, every Buddhist needs to seize the opportunity to accumulate abundant merit through our actions, words, and thoughts; more information on Merit, and how to acquire it.

3. Tibetans' Spiritual activities.

Throughout this month, some Tibetans will refrain from consuming meat, engage in circumambulation at monasteries, perform prostrations around Jhokang Temple and Potala Palace, and chant as frequently as possible, all with the primary goal of accumulating positive karmic actions.

4. Beauties of the festival.

During many festivals, people tend to indulge in consuming meat and alcohol and playing games. However, during the festival, Buddhists refrain from such activities as they believe they create negative karma. Instead, they focus on meditation, reading scripture, and giving alms, with the intention of training their minds in compassion.

5. Top Tibet travel sites.

The Saga Dawa festival is often celebrated at Mount Kailash, a popular travel destination. On the 15th day of the fourth month of the Tibetan Lunar Calendar, many Tibetans gather at the Prayer flag pole near Darchen town at Tarboche to commemorate the occasion. If you want to learn more, I recommend checking out the Lonely Planet Online PDF. It's got all the information in detail.
