ITINERARY


At the Paro Airport, TCI representative will meet and greet and then drive you directly to Thimpu.
Smiling faces and mesmerizing mountain ranges, welcome to Bhutan where the economy’s health is measured by Gross Happiness Product (GHP). We will take the scenic drive and treat you with views of mesmerizing mountains and flowing rivers. On reaching Thimphu, check-in at the hotel, and spend the rest of the day at leisure. Enjoy the rest of the evening at leisure or we will take you to the Clock tower square from where you can get to see the Bhutanese culture, enjoy some local cuisine or just take a stroll. Whatever you choose to do today, you are bound to have a wonderful day in the amazing city of Thimphu. Refresh overnight at you hotel in Thimphu.

Today early, we will start the day with a visit to the Dochula pass perched at 3100m and offering a glimpse of the Himalayan range. Here, 108 memorial chortens or stupas known as “Druk Wangyal Chortens” have been built by Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuk, the eldest Queen Mother. Dochula is also the highest motorable Mountain Pass of Bhutan overlooking the snowcapped mountains.

Back in the afternoon, witness the Memorial Chorten which is the most visible religious structure in Thimphu before moving on to the Tashichho Dzong – a strikingly large structure, surrounded by manicured lawns and beautiful gardens, which houses the throne room, offices of the secretariat and the King. Enjoy stunning views from the amazing Buddha View Point. The view of the valley from this point is as magnificent as the statue of Lord Buddha that resides on the premises. After a wonderful day, spend the late evening at leisure in Thimphu.


This early morning after a sumptuous breakfast, we will first visit the collection of Buddhist manuscripts at National Library; followed by a visit to the Textile Museum to learn about the national art of weaving. Here, you will see exhibits on major weaving techniques, styles of local dresses and textiles made by women and men.
Afterwards, C/O from your hotel and we will drive for Paro. On the way, time permitting, we can visit the Tamchog Lhakhang – It is situated between Thimphu and Paro and was built in the 13th century. Situated on a hill top, we have to cross an ancient style bridge to reach the temple. After arriving in Paro, visit the Ta Dzong – National Museum with an excellent collection of arts, relics, religious thangkha, etc. This will be followed by the Rinpung Dzong which means ‘fortress of the heap of jewels. The Dzong now serves as the administrative and judicial seat of Paro. Refresh overnight at your hotel in Paro.

We will start the day early today from Thimphu to Paro as we will be on our way to the famous Tiger’s Nest Temple , also known as the Temple or Taksang Monastery. Perched precariously on the edge of a 1200 m cliff, this monastery is an impressive sight and the unofficial symbol of Bhutan. The up-hill hike should take around 2 hours, so it is recommended you wear comfortable walking shoes and carry light refreshments with water. An option to ride a horse from the parking lot to the monastery is also available at your own expense. Alternately, you could also hike for about an hour to reach a cafeteria – a wooden tea-house restaurant which offers a good view of the monastery.

All good things have to come to an end but not before you grab a good breakfast as our representative will be waiting at the lobby for you with your private car to assist you well in time to proceed to the airport.
