      Arrive Paro Transfer To Thimphu Valley

      The flight to Paro is one of the most spectacular mountain flights in the world, providing a

      spectacular panorama of some of the highest mountains on earth. Drive to the capital, Thimphu

      along the Paa chu River. 

      Visit Folk Heritage Museum is a great place for those who want to learn about the traditional

      lifestyle of the Bhutanese people. The museum houses a rich collection of equipment, tools,

      household objects and artefacts from rural households, all of which offer a glimpse of the

      traditional Bhutanese lifestyle. Apart from showcasing these objects, the museum is also

      involved in organizing regular demonstrations of rural traditions, skills, customs and habits of

      the local people. Educational programs for children are also held in the museum.

      Later visit the Zorig Chusum refers to the thirteen traditional arts of Bhutan. At the National

      Institute for Zorig Chusum in Thimphu, students learn these arts, which include clay sculpting,

      traditional painting, tailoring, wood carving, gold and silver smiting, and mask carving. Some of

      the other arts taught here are wood turning and lacquering, embroidery, and traditional boot

      making. Aspiring artists attend the courses from one to four years. In the institute, one can visit

      the classrooms and watch students fine-tuning their crafts.

      Jungshi Handmade paper factory, rough natural fibers are extracted from the bark of two

      species of highland shrubs and slowly transformed into beautiful translucent sheets of paper.

       The factory uses the bark of two tree species, the Daphne tree and Dhekap tree in the

      manufacture of traditional paper. Visitors can observe the entire process of producing handmade

      paper using ancient traditional methods that have been practiced for generations. You can even

      try your hand at this ancient craft and make some paper of your very own as a souvenir. Deh-sho

      paper was originally used by monasteries for woodblock and manuscript books and also for

      writing prayer books.

      Weaving center Located in the south end of Thimphu, the Weaving Centre is a privately owned

      centre which produces traditional hand-woven textiles of the region. Apart from producing items for


      sale, the centre is also famous for producing ceremonial textiles for the for Bhutanese royals,

      including the gho and kushturara for the king and queen. The place is known for its huge collection

      of a wide range of clothing and readymade garments, including carves, belts, and jackets among

      other things. What attracts travellers to this place is the fact that one can see the weavers at work,

      and photographs are allowed too.

      Overnight at your hotel in Thimphu

  • Day 2 Transfer To Punakha From Thimphu 2 Hours
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Transfer To Punakha From Thimphu 2 Hours

      After breakfast drive to Punakha valley (1300m/4265ft) the former capital of Bhutan. On the

      way after 45 minutesโ€Ÿ drive from Thimphu will reach at highest pass between Thimphu and

      Punakha the place called Dochula pass (3140m). In 2004, Queen Mother Ashi Dorji Wangmo

      Wangchuck commissioned 108 chortens in Dochula, the pass between Thimphu and Punakha.

      These chortens commemorate Bhutan's victory over the Indian insurgents hidden in Southern

      Bhutan in 2003. The 4th Druk Gyalpo, King Jigme Singye Wangchuck, led the army. Hundreds

      of prayer flags flap in the wind at Dochula, carrying positive merit on the breeze to all sentient

      beings. For centuries, people have travelled through this pass while making their way across the

      country. On a clear day, the views from the top are astonishing. One can see many snow-covered

      7000-meter peaks, including Gangkhar Phuensum, the world's highest unclimbed mountain.

      Upon reaching Punakha valley visit Punakha Dzong the impressive Dzong built in 1637 by

      Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal to serve as the religious and administrative center of the region.

      Damaged over the centuries by four catastrophic fires and an earthquake, the Dzong has been

      fully restored in recent years by the present monarch. It is open for visitors during the Punakha

      festival (early spring) and in the summer months, after the monk body has returned to Thimphu.

      The Dzong is placed strategically at the junction of the Pho Chu and Mo Chu rivers. This ancient

      fortress is the winter residence of the monastic orderโ€Ÿs head and still serves as the administrative

      headquarters for the Punakha region.

      After visiting the Punakha Dzong take a leisurely walk for 5 to 10 minutes to reach the longest

      suspension bridge of Bhutan. We have a great view of villages on the other side of the river.

      Overnight at hotel in Punakha.

  • Day 3 Transfer To Paro From Punakha 3.5 Hours
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Transfer To Paro From Punakha 3.5 Hours

      After the breakfast drive towards Paro crossing the beautiful 108 stupas at the Dochula pass and

      the capital city Thimphu. Stop at Chuzom bridge, Confluence of Thimphu River (Wang Chu) &

      Paro river (Pa Chu) to stretch you legs from the long drive. En-route stop to visit the Tamchog,

      built by Thangtong Gyalpo, a pioneering engineer who introduced the construction of suspension

      bridges into Bhutan and Tibet. It is believed that more than 58 bridges were built across the

      country however only 2 have survived. One of these bridges still stands strong at the base of the


      Tamchog Lhakhang. Marvel at the iron bridge reconstructed using original chain links. Upon

      reaching Paro lunch will be served. After lunch do the Zuri Hike 45 minutes hike. The hike

      provides wonderful views down over the valley and Dzong and is perfect for you to train your

      legs for the tigerโ€™s nest hike the next day. In the evening stroll around the Paro town to look for

      souvenir to take back home and take good rest in the hotel to prepare for the hike to the Tigerโ€™s

      nest. Overnight in hotel at Paro.

  • Day 4 Tigerโ€™S Nest Monastery Hike
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Tigerโ€™S Nest Monastery Hike

      After early breakfast drive to the base of Tigerโ€™s nest monastery, the walk of approximately 1.5

      to 2 hours uphill takes you almost a kilometer above the Paro valley floor (for those who cannot

      hike we will arrange a horse for transfer up to cafeteria). From a distance, Bhutan's most iconic

      building seems to float, weightless, halfway up a sheer cliff-face, 900 meters (3,000 feet) above

      the floor of the Paro Valley. As you wind your way breathlessly up the long, steep path towards

      Taktsang Lhakhang, the monastery periodically reveals itself, rising out of the forest, closer and

      more solid with each reappearance.

      The Bhutanese believe that the original construction of Taktsang in 1692. Taktsang was razed in

      a major fire in April 1998, and the temple took five years to reconstruct with the help of a

      rudimentary cableway that has since been removed.

      Later in the evening we highly recommend you to take a relaxing hot stone bath at a traditional

      Bhutanese home stay to relax your sore muscles after the hike. (Extra charges applicable).

      Dinner at a homestay or farm house to experience the true cuisine of Bhutan. Overnight in hotel

      at Paro.
