The flight to Paro is considered one of the most spectacular in the Himalayas, offering breathtaking views of majestic mountain peaks. Upon landing, Bhutan welcomes you with fresh, crisp mountain air and a sense of tranquility.

After completing immigration and baggage formalities, our local guide will greet you and drive you to Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan. En route, stop at Chuzom, where the Paro and Thimphu rivers meet. Here, you’ll see three unique chortens (stupas) in Tibetan, Nepalese, and Bhutanese styles. Before reaching Chuzom, glance to the left to spot Tschogang Lhakhang (“Temple of the Excellent Horse”), a 15th-century private temple built in honor of the divine horse, Balaha – a manifestation of Avalokiteshvara.

Upon arrival in Thimphu, check in to your hotel. With a population of about 90,000, Thimphu is the only capital in the world without traffic lights—a city where tradition meets modernity.

In the afternoon, visit the Trashichhoedzong, a striking fortress-monastery housing the King’s throne room, government offices, and the summer residence of the central monastic body.

Later, enjoy a stroll along Thimphu’s main street and local markets. Visit the Local Crafts Bazaar, featuring authentic Bhutanese handicrafts such as hand-woven textiles, thangka paintings, wood carvings, and traditional jewelry.

Other deities enshrined include Guru Rinpoche, Shakyamuni Buddha, Zhabdrung, and the Twenty-One Taras.

After breakfast, embark on a memorable hike (approx. 5 hours round trip) to Taktshang Monastery, also known as the “Tiger’s Nest.” Clinging to a cliff 900 meters above the Paro Valley, this iconic site is one of Bhutan’s most sacred pilgrimage destinations.
