Day 01: Fly in Paro & Transfer Thimphu
Experience the thrill of flying to Paro, Bhutan, with Druk Air or Bhutan Air! On a clear day, you’ll have a stunning view of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest (for those flying from Delhi or Kathmandu, be sure to sit on the left side of the flight!). The approach to Bhutan is especially breathtaking, as you descend through the foothills and make a few sharp turns to land at the tiny airstrip. Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted by your Bhutan Travel Services guide, and driven to Thimphu.
Depending on your flight time; visit the following sights:
Kuenselcholing View Point: The best way to get a good overview of the Thimphu Valley is to visit Buddha Point (Kuenselphodrang). It’s only a short drive away from the town. At Buddha point, you can pay your respects to the largest statue in the country, offer prayers, and take in the breathtaking views of the valley.
Memorial Chorten: This Chorten was built in 1974 as a tribute to King Jigme Dorji Wangchuk, the third King of Bhutan and the father of modern Bhutanese society.
- Tashichho Dzong: The majestic fortress of glorious religion, known as the ‘Dzong’, was constructed in 1641 by Zhabdrung NgawangNamgyel. It features the secretariat building, the throne room, the office of the king, and the central monk body. After exploring the Dzong, take some time to relax and explore the city.Overnight at the HOTEL in Thimphu.
Day 02: Morning drive to Paro & Hike Tiger’s Nest (Taktsang)
- Start your morning off with a scenic drive from Thimphu to Paro Valley, where you’ll find the iconic Taktsang Monastery, also known as “Tiger’s Nest”. Believed to be the site where Guru Rimpoche or Guru Padmasambhava flew on the back of a tigress from Tibet and meditated in the cave for three months, the monastery is perched on a rock overlooking a 9678-foot sheer drop. Though the main building was destroyed by a fire in 1998, the hike up to the monastery’s viewpoint is an exhilarating experience, taking about two and a half hours of average walking (five hours’ round trip).If you’d prefer not to hike, you can opt to ride a horse for an extra US$25 per person.After your journey to the top, visit Kichu Lhakhang, RingpungZong, and the National Museum to get a glimpse of how the locals live.Overnight at the HOTEL in Paro
