This ancient hanging bridge is adorned with prayer flags and provides an ideal spot for bird watching and nature photography. It is renowned worldwide for its picturesque appearance.

- Chimi Lhakhang: Also known as Chime Lhakhang, this Buddhist monastery is located in the Punakha District of Bhutan, near Lobesa. Built in 1499 by the 14th Drukpa hierarch, Ngawang Choegyel, the monastery stands on a round hillock and was blessed by the "Divine Madman," the maverick saint Drukpa Kunley (1455–1529), who constructed a chorten on the site.

The Chorten is popular among locals for various major Buddhist religious festivals and is one of the best places to visit in Thimphu, Bhutan.
- Buddha Dordenma Statue: Atop a hill in Thimphu, this massive golden Buddha sits above a gilded meditation hall. Hidden inside are 125,000 smaller Buddhas, meaning there are more Buddha statues in Thimphu than the city’s population of 100,000. It is also known as Buddha Point.
- Simply Bhutan (Living Museum): This living museum is fully operated by youth and supported by the Bhutan Youth Development Fund. It provides a glimpse into traditional Bhutanese life, featuring a small collection of typical household objects and tools. Youth guides explain how the Bhutanese used to build houses out of mud and make wheat wine. Visitors can try on traditional costumes (Gho & Kira) and have photos taken for free. Traditional dance performances are also available, and handicrafts can be purchased as souvenirs while supporting the youth.
- Sangaygang View Point: Sangaygang is a beautiful viewpoint in Bhutan, home to the tower that transmits the national television channel of Bhutan, BBS. From this viewpoint, one can observe a wonderful view of Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan. On clear, cloudless days, a beautiful panoramic view of the entire city can be captured. Thousands of prayer flags can be seen fluttering in the air.
- The Motithang Takin Preserve: For animal lovers, the Motithang Takin Preserve is one of the best places to visit in Thimphu. This attractive preserved area was initially built as a small zoo but was later converted into an animal preserve center. The Takin, the national animal of Bhutan, resides in the Motithang Takin Preserve.
- Changangkha Lhakhang: Among the many monasteries and temples in Thimphu, Changangkha Lhakhang is one of the most significant religious structures.

It is a popular spot among visitors, especially in the evening when people come to enjoy the beautiful paintings and carvings. Numerous restaurants and souvenir shops are located near this tower, making it one of the most visited sites in town.
- Tashi Chho Dzong: Located next to the bank of the Wang Chhu River, Tashi Chho Dzong, also known as Thimphu Dzong, hosts the annual three-day Tsechu festival every year. It was built in 1216 A.D.

Day 5 Tiger nest Hiking and local sightseeing & transfer to Phuentsholing night stay
- Taktsang Monastery: After breakfast, embark on a hike to Tiger's Nest (approximately 5 hours round trip). This is Bhutan’s most iconic landmark and religious site. The temple clings impossibly to a sheer cliff face 900 meters above the Paro Valley. Taktsang Lhakhang is located approximately 10 km north of Paro town at an altitude of 3,120 meters. No trip to Bhutan would be complete without a visit to this stunning heritage site.

Just got back from an unforgettable trip to Bhutan with Asia Valley Tours!
Sp (Read More)ecial thanks to Mr. Bharat Gurung from Asia Valley Tours for helping us plan and customize our itinerary exactly as we wanted. He was extremely prompt in responding and patiently clarified all our queries.
From the moment we landed at Bagdogra airport, everything was beautifully organized — smooth transfers, comfortable stays, and a thoughtfully planned itinerary that allowed us to truly experience Bhutan’s serene beauty. Nothing felt rushed, and each day was well balanced.
A special mention to our guide, Sangay Nidup, and our driver, Amber, who made the journey even more memorable. They were knowledgeable, patient, and always ensured our comfort. We didn’t just visit places — we experienced the culture, food, and hidden gems of Bhutan.
Our package included three hikes in Thimpu, Phobijika valley and Paro. Our guide, Sangay made all hikes very enjoyable and informative sharing his past experiences. He also gave suggestions for shopping in Thimpu/Paro and took us to the local markets and helped us experience the local lifestyle. He was very helpful in taking photos during the trip.
The highlight of the trip was the hike to Tiger’s Nest — challenging, but absolutely worth it. The views and the entire experience were simply magical.
