Khuru (Dzongkha: ཁུ་རུ་; Wylie: khu-ru)[1] is a traditional Bhutanese dart sport. Unlike archery, playing khuru is simple and affordable. It's a game where you get a pair of darts and a target to aim at. Khuru is usually played on holidays and other special events all around the nation and is just as popular as archery.[2]
The distance between two targets is 35 meters for men and 27 meters for women, according to the Bhutan Indigenous Games and Sports Association.[2] With the cultural shift, even the women participate in Khuru tournaments.[3]
Khuru Rules
editThe Bhutan Indigenous Games and Sports Association (BIGSA) was established with the goal of promoting traditional Bhutanese games and sports. But BIGSA has no khuru rules mentioned in their website.[4]
