Tour Itinerary

DAY 1

WELCOME TO PARO AND TRANSFER TO THIMPHU [1 HR 30 MIN (65 KM) VIA PARO - THIMPHU HWY] -
Welcome to Bhutan, the Land of Thunder Dragon. Bhutan is like a painter's dream, a colorful country surrounded by the Himalayas, a small dreamy paradise with vast green valleys, beautiful landscapes, rugged terrain, crystalline rivers, and happy people. Once the aircraft enters the Paro Valley, look down to see the first glimpse of the Paro Dzong on the hillside overlooking Paro Chu (river) with Ta Dzong. Our representative will welcome you in a Bhutanese style with Tashi Khada (white scarf) and guide you at the airport, which marks the beginning of your Bhutan Tour. Overnight stay at Timphu.

DAY 2

FULL DAY THIMPHU SIGHTSEEING:
As the sun spreads its warm rays across the beautiful Thimphu valley, begin your day with a hot cup of Suja (Butter Tea) and move towards the breakfast table to enjoy their delicious spread before leaving for Thimphu local sightseeing. The National Memorial Chorten - Also known as Thimphu Chorten is a site for evening prayer. The chorten was built in the third King's memory, and it was continuously circumambulated by people, murmuring mantras and spinning their prayer wheels. The idea to construct this landmark was proposed by Bhutan's third King, His Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuk ("the father of modern Bhutan"), who wished to erect a monument to the World for peace and prosperity. Completed in 1974 after Majesty's untimely death, it served as a memorial to the late King and a monument of peace. Shakyamuni Buddha - On the top of KuenselPhodrang hill sits the statue of Great Buddha Dordenma. The 51.5-meter-long gilded bronze statue would surely attract you, and the uninterrupted view of the valley would leave you spellbound. This site is also known as Buddha Viewpoint. Changangkha Lhakhang - At Thimphu, you will come across several monasteries and temples, but Changangkha Lhakhang is the most important religious structure of all. The fabric is dedicated to Avalokiteshvara, a sign of compassion dating back to the 15th century, the oldest in the region, and from here, enjoy the grand view of Thimphu valley. Takin Zoo – In here, you will find the National animal of Bhutan, "Takin". Takin is one of the most endangered species of the World, and it is available only in Bhutan and preserved in open habitat. Trashi Chhoe Dzong - or the Fortress of the Glorious Region is another 'must visit' site on a Bhutan Package Tour. Situated on the west bank of Wang Chhu river, the Trashi Chhoe Dzong is the formal coronation site of the fifth King that hosts the annual Tsechu festival. This Dzong was built in the year 1641 by the political and religious unifier of Bhutan, Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, later it was reconstructed in the 1960s in a traditional Bhutanese manner, without the use of nails or architectural plans. Overnight stay at Timphu

DAY 3

THIMPHU TO PUNAKHA [2 HR 15 MIN (75 KM) VIA THIMPHU-PUNAKHA HWY]
As your Hot Ngaja (a Sweet Bhutanese milk tea) arrives sip into it while enjoying the beautiful valley from the room. Post breakfast head towards Punakha, the former capital of Bhutan. Punakha is much backward from the chaotic city life at an elevation of 1200 m, which makes this place quite warm in winter and hot during summer. The valley is famous for Red and white rice farming along the Pho and Mo Chu Rivers stretch. En-route visit. Punakha Dzong - Also known as "the palace of great happiness", Punakha Dzong is located at the confluence of the Pho Chhu (father) and Mo Chhu (mother) rivers in the Punakha–Wangdue valley. This Dzong is the most picturesque of all Bhutan ancient fortresses and it joins the mainland by an arched wooden bridge that contains many precious relics from the days when successive kings reigned the Kingdom from this Punakha valley. Chimi Lhakhang - Stationed at the top of a hillock, the Chimi Lhakhang is a site dedicated to Lama Drukpa Kuenley. Known as the 'Divine Madman,' Lama Drukpa Kuenley is said to use songs, humor, and outrageous behavior to preach his teachings. Chimi Lhakhang temple is believed to be the temple of fertility, and the Bhutanese hold a strong belief that childless couples are blessed by Lama Drukpa Kuenley if they visit the temple and pray for a child. The road to the temple follows a picturesque rural trail through the paddy field that takes visitors to the temple from the road, and after crossing the paddy field, you will find a tiny stream from where Chimi Lhakhang is just a short climb away. Suspension Bridge - This hidden treasure in the Punakha Valley connects the rest of the valley to the old administrative center of Punakha Dzongkhag. The whole deck is covered with prayer flags and provides a perfect spot for bird-watching and photography. Overnight stay at Phunakha

DAY 4

PUNAKHA TO PARO TRANSFER [2 HR 15 MIN (125 KM) VIA THIMPHU - PUNAKHA HWY]
From the beautiful valley, the next destination is the picturesque Paro town, located at an elevation of 2200 m. Paro valley is the most extensive valley in entire Bhutan and is blessed with mesmerizing nature, fertile rice fields, deep valleys, and a crystalline river. The beautiful view of the mountains, clear sky, and dense coniferous forest with chirping birds can make you fall in love with its first glimpse. En route enjoy Paro sightseeing – National Museum of Bhutan - In 1968, The National Museum of Bhutan was built, which stands inside the ancient Ta-dzong building that showcases Bhutan culture and is stationed right above Rinpung Dzong in Paro. This museum is a house of beautiful specimens from Bhutanese art and culture, with the main highlights being the paintings and bronze statues, which are placed in extensive galleries, from where you can get to know a lot about Bhutan art and culture. Rinpung Dzong - Built by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal in 1646, the first spiritual and temporal ruler of Bhutan, the Dzong houses the monastic body of Paro, the office of the Dzongda (district administrative head) and Thrimpon (judge) of Paro district. The approach to the Dzong is through a traditional covered bridge called Nemi Zam. The Paro town is full of Dzongs (monasteries), where you can join the monks for prayers as they wrap themselves in red robes with priceless smiles or walk down to the bed of Paro Chu and dip your feet in the cold crystalline water. Overnight stay at Paro

DAY 5

PARO SIGHTSEEING – TIGER NEST MONASTERY [6-8 Hrs]
As the sun's rays touch the beautiful Paro valley, wake up in the middle of Mother Nature and relish the beautiful view of the river and mountains in a single frame. Enjoy the gala spread but make sure to add some protein to it, as climbing to the top of the Taktsang Monastery and back will require a good boost. Taktsang Monastery - After covering 1200 meters on a fierce cliff, you will reach this sacred site known as the Tiger Nest. Once you climb to the top, take a deep breath of the fresh air and soother the eyes and soul with the stunning view of the scenic surroundings and the valley lying underneath—the Taktsang Monastery, established by Sain Guru Rinpoche in 747 CE. Construction of the complex was completed in 1694. After 3 hours of some adventurous trek, discover the Tiger Nest monastery, and if you wish, opt for a horse ride from the parking lot to reach the top.
