Khuru (sport)
Bhutanese dart sport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Khuru (Dzongkha: ཁུ་རུ་; Wylie: khu-ru)[1] is a traditional Bhutanese dart sport. Unlike archery, khuru is simple and affordable, requiring no more than a pair of darts and a target. Khuru is 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 metres (115 ft) for men and 27 metres (89 ft) for women, according to the Bhutan Indigenous Games and Sports Association.[2] A cultural shift in Bhutan has led to the participation of women in khuru tournaments.[3]
Rules
The Bhutan Indigenous Games and Sports Association (BIGSA) was established with the goal of promoting traditional Bhutanese games and sports. The organization has a web page for the rules of khuru, but as of 2025 that page is empty.[4]
