Itinerary

Day1

Arrival in Paro & Orientation

Arrive at Paro International Airport. Transfer to your hotel and enjoy a relaxed orientation with your guide. Afternoon visit to Rinpung Dzong and stroll through Paro town. Evening briefing about the trek routes and safety tips.

Tip: If arriving early, take a short walk to the Paro Market to sample local snacks.

Day2

Short Trek to Drukgyel Dzong Ridge & National Museum

Today’s short trek climbs a scenic ridge toward the ruins of Drukgyel Dzong—excellent views of the Paro valley and Mount Chomolhari on clear days. Return to Paro to visit the National Museum (Ta Dzong) with its rich cultural exhibits.

Hike duration: 3–4 hours moderate; wear good walking shoes.

Day3

Iconic Tiger's Nest (Paro Taktsang) Hike

Morning hike to the world-famous Paro Taktsang (Tiger's Nest Monastery). The ascent is steep with several switchbacks, but the reward is the majestic monastery clinging to the cliff and panoramic valley views. Return in the late afternoon for relaxation in Paro.

Important: The hike can take 4–6 hours round trip. Start early to avoid crowds and altitude fatigue.

Scenic 1.5–2 hour drive to Thimphu, Bhutan's capital. Afternoon visits include Buddha Dordenma (huge seated Buddha statue), Tashichho Dzong, and the Memorial Chorten. Evening free to explore the handicrafts bazaar and sample local cuisine.

Travel note: Road and weather conditions can affect driving times.

Day5

Short Ridge Trek & Cultural Immersion

Enjoy a morning short ridge walk near Thimphu for sweeping valley views and village interaction. Afternoon dedicated to museums and crafts: Folk Heritage Museum, National Textile Museum, and a visit to a local farmhouse for tea.

Day6

Drive to Punakha via Dochula Pass & Short Valley Walk

Drive east across the scenic Dochula Pass (3,100 m) with 108 chortens and panoramic Himalayan views. Proceed to Punakha and enjoy a gentle valley walk along the Punakha River. Evening visit to the riverside for sunset views.

Weather at Dochula can be chilly — carry warm layers.
