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]

The 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]
