Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Arrival in Paro and Transfer to Thimphu
  • Arrive at Paro Airport and transfer to Bhutan's capital, Thimphu, which is about an hour and a half away. It is one of the most scenic drives in Bhutan.
  • Spend the day at leisure and go exploring around the valley.
  • Overnight stay at hotel.
  • After breakfast, go for Thimphu sightseeing.
  • Visit the Memorial Chorten, also known as Thimphu Chorten/ Memorial Stupa, one of Thimphu's tallest monuments. It was built in honor of Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, the third king of Bhutan and the father of modern Bhutan. The architecture of this place is marvelous and is a highlight of the town.
  • Next, visit the 15th-century Changangkha monastery, an ancient temple situated around 1 km from downtown Thimpu. The temple was built in the 12th Century on a site chosen by Phajo Drukgom Shigpo, the founder of the Drukpa Lineage in Bhutan. It has large prayer wheels, incredibly huge Tibetan texts, and very fine interior murals. 
  • Your next stop would be Tashicho Dzong, an ancient fortress currently serving as a monastery and the central secretariat of the present government. Originally built in 1216, the original structure was destroyed in a fire, and the current structure was newly built. The Throne Room and several officers of the monarchy are situated within the Tashichho Dzong.
  • Our last stop for the day would be Buddha Dordenma, a 51-meter-tall gold-plated statue of Buddha, entirely made of steel. The night sees this statue beautifully illuminated and makes it even better sight to behold. The statue houses around 125,000 spectacular smaller Buddha statues made of bronze and plated in gold, each of which looks like the Dordenma itself.
  • After the tour, transfer back to the hotel and rest.
  • Overnight stay at Hotel.
  • After breakfast, drive to Paro.
  • Later, go sightseeing and visit the Drugyel Dzong. Now in ruins, Drukgyel Dzong is a fortress built in 1649 to mark the victory of Bhutan over Tibet. On climbing to the top of the ruins, a fantastic view of the valley greets you, making it worth the effort.
  • Next, visit the National Museum of Bhutan. This museum showcases art and traditions and has six floors, each narrating a unique tale from the past. You can see paintings, art pieces, animal masks, and many more facets of the rich culture. Perched above Paro Dzong, it houses all the important artifacts and belongings from the past.
  • Our last stop is Rinpung Dzong. Beautifully lit at night, the dzong has many illustrations portraying the life of Buddha. A hike to the top of the fortress offers a spectacular view of nearby valleys.
  • After the tour, transfer back to the hotels and rest.
  • Overnight stay at Hotel.
  • After breakfast, go for a day hike to the viewpoint of Taktsang Monastery, famously known as Tiger's Nest Monastery. Tiger's nest is known for the trek that has been carried on for years. With a total distance of 6.4 kms, the trek offers mesmerizing views of the Paro Valley. The mystery of how it was constructed in such conditions still amazes people. It is one of the few sites in Bhutan which was visited by Guru Rinpoche, who is also referred to as 'Second Buddha'.
  • When in Paro, take a moment to stop and shop for souvenirs from the local stores.
  • At the end of the day, reward yourself with a trip to the neighboring brewery for locally-produced beer before retiring to your hotel for the day.
  • Overnight stay at hotel.
  • Spend the last morning exploring Paro at leisure.
  • After breakfast, transfer to the airport for the onward journey.
