Tip: Domestic flight schedules in Bhutan can change due to mountain weather; morning flights are recommended.

Day2

Hike to the iconic Taktsang Monastery (Tiger's Nest) — a highlight of any Bhutan tour package. The hike takes 2.5–4 hours round trip depending on pace. After descending, visit the ancient Kyichu Lhakhang, one of Bhutan's oldest and most sacred temples.

Important: Wear sturdy shoes; the trail includes steep sections. Altitude is moderate but bring water and sun protection.

Day3

Drive to Thimphu — Capital Highlights & Cultural Sites

Short scenic drive to Thimphu. Visit the giant Buddha Dordenma (Kuenselphodrang), the Memorial Chorten, and Tashichho Dzong (administrative and monastic fortress). Explore local artisans at the National Textile Museum and nearby craft bazaars for traditional Bhutanese handicrafts.

Note: Thimphu is the political heart of Bhutan, where tradition and modernity co-exist.
