Detailed breakdown of your trekking journey

Welcome to Bhutan! Upon your arrival at Paro International Airport by Druk Air, enjoy one of the most spectacular Himalayan flights with breathtaking mountain views. After immigration formalities, our representative will welcome you and transfer you to Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan. En route, visit Chuzom, the confluence of Thimphu and Paro rivers, and see the unique Tibetan, Nepalese, and Bhutanese style stupas. Visit Tschogang Lhakhang, the temple of the excellent horse. Upon arrival in Thimphu, check into your hotel and explore Trashichhoedzong, the fortress of the glorious religion. Evening walk around Thimphu Main Street and local Crafts Bazaar.

After breakfast, explore the cultural highlights of Thimphu Valley. Visit the National Library, Institute for Zorig Chusum (Painting School), and Textile Museum to discover Bhutan’s traditional arts and crafts. After lunch, visit Pangri Zampa Monastery, one of the oldest monasteries in Bhutan. Continue sightseeing at Buddha Point (Kuensel Phodrang), where you can enjoy panoramic views of Thimphu Valley, and visit the Memorial Chorten, a symbol of peace and prosperity. Later drive to Paro and check into the hotel.

After breakfast, begin the highlight of your Bhutan journey with a hike to the famous Taktshang Monastery, also known as Tiger’s Nest. Located on a cliff 900 meters above Paro Valley, this sacred monastery is one of Bhutan’s most iconic landmarks.

After completing the hike, enjoy lunch and visit Kyichu Lhakhang, one of the oldest temples in Bhutan built in the 7th century. Evening explore Paro Main Street and local market area.
