Day 02: Thimphu – Paro

Starting the second day with breakfast, travelers will visit the iconic Dordenma Buddha Statue atop a hill in Thimphu. This colossal golden Buddha offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

Next, they will visit the Motithang Takin Preserve, often referred to as the Mini Zoo due to its relatively small size. This area serves as a sanctuary for the endangered takin, Bhutan’s national mammal.

Visitors can also learn about the Paper Factory, where traditional Bhutanese paper is produced using ancient techniques passed down through generations.

A picturesque drive leads to Dochula Pass, situated just outside Thimphu. Despite its short distance of approximately 40 minutes, Dochula Pass is well-worth visiting, particularly for those interested in exploring Thimphu’s diverse landscapes.

Returning to Thimphu, guests will enjoy strolling through the bustling Paro Market, experiencing the vibrant local culture and daily life.

Day 03: Paro

Embark on a full-day exploration of Paro’s highlights. Visitors can start their journey at the Taktsang Monastery, a remarkable wooden structure perched precariously on a cliffside. According to legend, Guru Rinpoche flew to this location on the back of a tiger and founded this monastery during his 8th-century Buddhist mission to Bhutan.

Another significant site is Rinpung Dzong, a prominent dzong located below the Rinpung Dzong complex. Renowned for its historical significance, Rinpung Dzong played a crucial role in protecting Paro against Tibetan invasions.

Afterward, visitors may opt to taste the locally brewed Namgay Artisanal Brewery, enjoying a variety of craft beers.

On Day 04: Departure
