Itinerary
Once you arrive at the Paro International Airport, you will be greeted by our English speaking guide and drive to Thimphu, the capital city. It is one-and-a-half-hour drive.
On the way visit Tamchog Lhakhang, which is located on the ridge with a beautiful view. After reaching Thimphu, check-in to hotel. After lunch, visit the National Memorial Chorten where we see elderly people pray and circumambulate the stupa; visit Paper Factory where you will see how Bhutanese traditional handmade paper is made; Crafts Bazaar which you will find authentic Bhutanese made crafts. Later visit Tashichho Dzong (Fortress) known as “fortress of the glorious religion,”. It houses the main secretariat building and the central monk body.
After breakfast, drive to Thimphu visit Kuensel Phodrang where big buddha statue is built and walk into Kuensel Phodrang nature park. From there you get the best view of Thimphu valley with the mountain behind. And visit Motithang Takin Preserve also known as the Mini Zoo where you will see Bhutan’s typical national animal; Folk heritage Museum dedicated to connecting people to the Bhutanese rural past through exhibition.
After lunch drive to Punakha on the way, stop over the Dochu-La pass (3,100 meters), which on a clear day offers an incredible view of Himalayan peaks snowclad mountains from the pass. The beauty of this place is further enhanced by the Druk Wangyel Chorten – 108 stupas.
Later, Drive to Paro.
After a breakfast hike to Taktsang Monastery, the wooded structure stands bravely on a cliff in the upper Paro Valley. The walk is approximately 2 to 2.5 hours one way. It is said that the great Guru Rinpoche flew here on the back of a tigress and set up this monastery when he brought the teachings of the Buddhist Dharma to Bhutan in the 8th Century.
After lunch, visit Paro National Museum. Next, visit the Paro Rinpung Dzong.
Later in the evening visit Farmhouse to experience traditional Bhutan to taste Bhutanese cuisine and dip into Traditional hot stone bath.
