Explore the cultural and modern fusion of Thimphu, Bhutan’s bustling capital. Visit the Buddha Dordenma, one of the largest Buddha statues in the world, located at Kuenselphodrang Nature Park. Head to the National Memorial Chorten, built in memory of the Third Druk Gyalpo and dedicated to world peace. At the Folk Heritage Museum, get insights into traditional Bhutanese life, followed by a visit to the Royal Textile Museum, which beautifully showcases Bhutan’s weaving culture.

End the day with a walk on the Punakha Suspension Bridge, the second-longest in the country, offering views of the Pho Chu and Mo Chu rivers. Overnight stay in Punakha.
Drive to the beautiful glacial valley of Phobjikha, often called the “Mini Switzerland of Bhutan” for its sweeping green meadows and serenity.
