Itinerary
Arrival in Paro — Introduction to Bhutan
Arrive at Paro International Airport. Meet your guide and transfer to the hotel. After freshening up, enjoy a gentle orientation walk through Paro town and visit the National Museum (Ta Dzong) and Rinpung Dzong. Learn about Bhutanese history and local customs. Evening at leisure to relax and acclimatize.
Tip: Flights into Paro are scenic; keep your camera ready.
Taktsang (Tiger's Nest) Hike — Spiritual Highlight
Early breakfast and start the famous hike to Taktsang (Tiger's Nest Monastery) — Bhutan's most iconic pilgrimage site perched on a cliff. The round-trip hike takes around 4-5 hours at a moderate pace. Visit the monastery, soak in panoramic views of the Paro valley, and return to Paro for a relaxed afternoon visiting Kyichu Lhakhang, one of the oldest temples in Bhutan.
Important: The hike involves steep paths; wear sturdy shoes and carry water.
Drive to Thimphu — Capital City Sights
After breakfast, drive to Thimphu (approx. 1.5–2 hours). En route, enjoy views of the valley and stop at Simtokha Dzong if open. In Thimphu, visit Memorial Chorten, the bustling Clock Tower Square, local craft bazaars, and the Folk Heritage & Textile Museums. Evening free to explore Thimphu's cafes and markets.
Note: Thimphu is a blend of tradition and developing urban life — dress respectfully when visiting religious sites.
Thimphu Cultural Immersion
Spend a full day exploring Thimphu's cultural landmarks. Visit the giant Buddha Dordenma statue for panoramic valley views, Tashichho Dzong, and the School of Arts & Crafts (Zorig Chusum) to see traditional artisans at work. Optional visit to Cheri Monastery or a short hike nearby.
Tip: Carry small change for local crafts and offerings at monasteries.
Dochula Pass & Punakha — Valley of Fertility
Drive from Thimphu to Punakha via the scenic Dochula Pass (3,100 m) with its 108 chortens and expansive Himalayan views (weather permitting). Continue to Punakha and visit the magnificent Punakha Dzong located at the confluence of the Pho and Mo Rivers and the suspension bridge. Evening at leisure in Punakha.
Note: Weather at Dochula can be changeable; layers recommended.
Punakha to Paro — Departure
Morning visit to Chimi Lhakhang (Fertility Temple) or an optional short hike to Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten (time permitting). After sightseeing, drive back to Paro for your international departure. Arrive at Paro International Airport in time for your flight.
