Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Paro Airport - Thimphu

After completing immigration formalities at Paro Airport, you will be met by your Bhutanese guide and transferred to the capital city of Bhutan, Thimphu. En route, stop at Chuzom, the confluence of the Thimphu (Wang Chhu) and Paro (Pa Chhu) rivers. Here, you will see three stupas built in Bhutanese, Tibetan, and Nepalese styles. On arrival in Thimphu, check in at the hotel. Evening free for leisure. Overnight at the hotel in Thimphu.

After breakfast, you will be taken for a tour of Thimphu City. You will visit Kuensel Phodrang, the gigantic Buddha Dordenma Statue located atop a hill offering a magnificent view of Thimphu Town; National Memorial Chorten, a stupa built in 1974 to honor the third King, Jigme Dorji Wangchuck; Folk Heritage Museum, a traditional house giving insight into Bhutanese lifestyle; Changangkha Lhakhang, one of the oldest temples in Thimphu; and Motithang Takin Reserve, a wildlife reserve for Takin, the national animal of Bhutan. In the evening, visit Tashichho Dzong, the Fortress of the Glorious Religion. Overnight at the hotel in Thimphu.

After breakfast, you will be driven to Paro. En route, stop at Tamchog Lhakhang, built in the 13th century by Thangthong Gyalpo. Continue your drive to Paro.

After breakfast, visit Taktsang Monastery (Tiger's Nest), located at an altitude of 3100m in the Upper Paro Valley. The hike to the monastery takes about 5-6 hours to complete.

We had a wonderful experience with the Chamling Holidays during our Bhutan trip. (Read More) The arrangements were well managed, the hotels and transportation were comfortable, and the overall coordination was smooth. Overall, we enjoyed the trip and appreciate the effort put into making our Bhutan experience memorable. With a slightly more flexible itinerary and better pricing, the experience could be even better.
A few suggestions for improvement: the package price could be a little more reas (Read More)onable, considering there are several additional expenses during the trip. The itinerary was also quite tight, so we sometimes felt rushed. It would have been great to have at least one relaxed day in the city, especially for shopping and exploring at our own pace.
