Itinerary

Bhutan, the country of the "Thunder Dragon," greets you. During your flight, we're confident you'll be awestruck by the breathtaking view of the gorgeous Himalayas, particularly the tall Mt. Jumolhari and Jichu Drake Peaks. They are, however, merely a little appetizer. Our Bhutan guide and driver will be waiting for you at the Paro international airport and will then bring you to your accommodation.

After a quick break at your hotel, we may visit the Kyichu Lhakhang (also known as Kyerchu Temple), Bhutan's oldest and most beautiful temple, Kyichu Lhakhang, surrounded by fields, flowers, and hills, has the eight-year-old Sakyamuni Buddha statue, historic relics, exquisite murals, and various Buddhist scriptures, among other things. Later, see the Rinpung Dzong in Paro. Rinpung Dzong, a castle built in the 17th century to safeguard Paro Valley, is located in the suburbs of Paro City and offers stunning views and a sense of inner serenity. We will travel to Thimphu, Bhutan's capital, in the evening and spend the night there. Stay in Thimphu for the night.

    Thimpu, Bhutan's capital, is devoid of corny skyscrapers and heavy traffic. Instead, Thimpu is recognized for its scenic Bhutan dzong, fresh air, and friendly locals, all of which are surrounded by undulating mountains. Today's tour begins with a visit to the Late King's Memorial Chorten, followed by visits to the National Library, Folk Heritage Museum, and Hand-made Paper Factory, as well as the School of Arts and Crafts, where you will get a panoramic view of Bhutan history and learn more about traditional textile and handicraft making.

    The centrepiece, of course, is a visit of the Tashichho Dzong (Thimpu Dzong), one of Bhutan's most stunning dzongs and the country's government offices. We shall return to Paro later.Spend the night in Paro.

      We'll begin our walk to TaktshangGoemba (also known as Tiger's Nest) first thing in the morning.TaktshangGoemba (3120 meters), perched on a cliff overlooking Paro Valley, is Paro's most famous sight as well as Bhutan's holiest shrine. Guru Padmasambhava (also known as Guru Rinpoche) is claimed to have flown here on the back of a tigress and meditated for three months in the cliffside caves. A panoramic view of Paro Valley may be seen from here.

      After lunch, we visit Bhutan's National Museum, which is shaped like a spherical watchtower. You may learn about Bhutan's rich history and discover the diverse natural life as well as the wonderful local culture and arts. Finally, we travel to Drukgyel Dzong, where you may marvel at the lovely settlement at its foot.
