With early breakfast we will drive to Paro (50 km, approx. 1:10 hours) for the stunning hike to one of Bhutan’s most revered Buddhist pilgrimage sites, Taktshang Lhakhang, locally known as Tiger’s Nest Monastery (altitude: 10,433

Feet). The complex also includes the Temple of Phorbu, which contains a phorbu, a triple-bladed dagger used to stab demons.
Our trail offers spectacular views of this sacred monastery perched precariously on a sheer rock face 3,000 feet above the valley floor. Legend has it that Guru Rimpoche arrived in Paro Valley more than a millennium ago on a back of a tigress. He meditated for three months in a cave that was later converted into this monastery. The only sounds heard here are the murmurs of wind, water, and the chanting of monks.
Today, pilgrims from all corners of the kingdom come to worship and meditate. We stop at the Cafeteria, about halfway to the monastery, for wonderful views. From here, it’s about an hour’s trek through stunning landscape to reach Taktshang Cafeteria. Where we will stop for tea & snacks.
On our return, we again stop at the Cafeteria, this time for lunch.
After some rest time, descend to Ramthanka base and drive back to the hotel. Overnight Hotel at Paro

Activities : Sightseeing

After breakfast we’re off to the National Museum, located in Paro Dzong’s 17th-century watchtower. The building itself boasts an unusual shape said to resemble a conch shell. It was in this tower that Ugyen Wangchuck, the future first king of Bhutan, was imprisoned in 1872, when he came to put down a revolt. See a fine collection of old thangka paintings and textiles, ancient weapons, and Bhutanese artifacts. The museum, by the way, is considered a temple due to the religious objects it houses, and as such we are requested to remove our shoes and to move inside in a clockwise direction.
And a short visit to Paro Dzong , also called Rinpung Dzong, the Fortress of a Heap of Jewels. Constructed in the early 15th century as a diminutive fort, it was presented to the religious and political authority of Shabdrung Ngarvang, who developed it into a much more commanding fortress in 1646. This is without doubt one of the kingdom’s finest examples of traditional Bhutanese architecture.
After Lunch we head back to Phuntsholing from Paro.
Evening at leisure.
Overnight Hotel at Phuntsholing.
