The Paro Tsechu
Early in the morning on the last day of the festival the monk body assembled before the high lama.

I've got no experience at estimating crowds, but my guess is that there were between 5,000 and 10,000 people attending the festival on the final day, of which maybe 300 to 400 were tourists.
