Day wise Itinerary

  • Day 1 : Arrive Paro (2,280 M / 7,524 Ft) - By Druk Air Flight

    On arrival at Paro you will be received and transferred to your hotel. Later in the afternoon visit the National Museum, the museum is housed in Paro Dzong's ancient watchtower. The museum is considered to be a temple because of the number of religious objects it contains, and that is why you must proceed in a clockwise direction. Thereafter visit Paro Dzong the full name of which is Rinpung Dzong, which means 'the fortress of the heap of jewels'. Besides being the administrative seat of the district of Paro it also contains a state monastic community of about 200 members. It is approached through a beautiful wooden bridge roofed with shingles and abutted by two guardhouses.

    The evening is free to take a down town stroll along Paro's Main Street. Overnight stay at your hotel.

  • Day 2 : In Paro - Sightseeing

    After an early morning breakfast, drive for about 8 km to Satsam Chorten for a half-day hike to Taktsang Monastery. Reaching the monastery involves a 3-hour trek from the road head. From the road head far away and high up on the cliff top, the Taktsang Monastery can be seen. For a moment you may think that you cannot make it to the top but something draws you and you start your climb. The name Taktsang means "Tiger's Nest". This magical monastery clings to vertical granite cliff 2,000 feet above the valley floor. Legend says that Guru Padmasambhava flew to a cave on this cliff riding a tiger-hence the name - to meditate. The tiger was actually his favorite consort, Yeshe Tsogyel, whom he transformed into a tiger for the purposes of this journey. They meditated in the cave, and when the Guru left he instructed for the monastery to be built. On our way back you can't help but wonder as to how man could have ever made this impossible structure.

    Returning from the monastery visit the Drugyel Dzong built in 1646 by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal to commemorate his victory over the Tibetan invaders. On a clear day, one can see the commanding view of Mount Jomolhari, which remains covered with snow throughout the year. Before reaching back to the town stop at Kyichu Lhakhang. It is composed of twin temples which are somewhat set back on the right of the road as one drive back to Paro. According to Bhutanese tradition, the first temple at Kyichu was built by the Buddhist Tibetan king, Songtsen Gampo, in the 7th century. In 1968, H M Ashi Kesang, the Queen Mother of Bhutan, arranged for a second temple to be built alongside the first one, in the same style. Overnight stay at your hotel.

  • Day 3 : In Paro - Witness Paro Tsechu

    Spend the the full day at Paro Tsechu and one on the first day in the morning one can experiences the procession ceremony and ground breaking ceremony with more traditionally.

  • Day 4 : In Paro

    Excursion to Haa Valley. Morning drives uphill along the blue pine to Chellela pass where one can see Mount. Jomulahri clear day. Haa Dzongkhag consists of five gewogs, namely Bji, Katsho, Sama, Sangbay and Uesu with an area of 1,706.8 sq.km. It is characterized by a rugged and mountainous terrain, which makes access and delivery of development services difficult as well as expensive. The dzongkhag has a total of about 1,137 households. Most of the communities are remotely located from roads and town, and rather isolated due to lack of development infrastructure.

    The elevation in the dzongkhag ranges from 1,000 to 5,600 meters above sea level. Most of the gewogs consist of dryland areas and natural pastureland. Wheat is the main cereal crop grown in most of the gewogs although a variety of other dryland crops such as barley and buckwheat are also grown. Potatoes constitute the principal cash crop for the dzongkhag while apples and vegetables are also cultivated. Livestock rearing constitute an important economic activity in the Dzongkhag with most of the northern gewogs depending on livestock as their major source of income.

    The dzongkhag is constrained by short growing seasons and limited arable land, as only about two percent of the land is cultivable. Kamzhing (dry land) dominates the agricultural activity constituting an estimated 68% of the cultivated land. Potato is an important cash crop and is grown mostly in the villages of the temperate gewogs with good road accessibility with the area under production increasing every year.

    In terms of education facilities and coverage, the dzongkhag has a total of eight schools. Though the enrolment ratio is good, four out of the dzongkhag's five gewogs do not have any facility beyond primary schooling. There is only one middle secondary school catering to all the students who pass out from primary and lower secondary schools.

    The dzongkhag does not have a national full-fledged hospital. Health services are provided by four BHUs and the IMTRAT hospital. The Bali BHU functions as the dzongkhag hospital at present.

    The 57.6 km of Haa-Chunzom and the Haa-Paro highway passes through the Dzongkhag but with only about 44.10 km of internal road connections most of the settlements are not connected with feeder and farm roads. The dzongkhag has a good network of mule tracks and suspension bridges.

  • Day 5 : Paro - Thimphu (2,320 M/7,656 Ft) - By Surface / 65 Km / Approx 1 Half Hrs

    After a leisurely breakfast you take a drive to Thimphu. In the afternoon is at leisure to stroll around the main roads of this wondrous Himalayan Kingdom. The architecture of all the houses the people with everyone dressed in the traditional dresses and the discipline on the roads is quite eye-catching. On reaching Thimphu you check in to your hotel. Overnight stay at your hotel.

  • Day 6 : In Thimphu

    Today you have a full day to take in the sights of Thimphu that will give you a fairly good exposure and understanding of the Bhutanese way of life, as well as their customs and traditions.

    The day begins with a we could have visited to the Textile Museum but it will remain closed due to annual maintenance. In Bhutan textiles are an art form integrated with all aspects of life. The Museum is a national center to collect, document, preserve, interpret and display Bhutan's textile heritage. From here one can drive up to the Changangkha Lhakhang, which lies on top of the knoll that stands out above Thimphu from where the view of the valley is superb. This is one of the oldest temples in the Thimphu valley, having being built in the 15th century. The temple was restored in 1998-99. Around the knoll of Changangkha, the many Bhutanese houses with their little gardens give the neighbourhood a rural charm. This is followed by a visit to The Folk Heritage Museum (Phelchey Toenkhyim). It is dedicated to connect people to the Bhutanese rural past through exhibits, demonstrations, educational programs and documentation of rural life. The principal exhibit in the museum is a restored three-story traditional rammed mud and timber house. The design and form of the house is that of an average household in the Wang area.

    In the afternoon one can visit The School of Traditional Arts where children learn traditional drawing and painting techniques. A visit here is very interesting not only to see how skillful the children are, but also to observe the traditional methods of teaching, which are very different from those used in the west. Those interested in traditional medicine can also visit the Hospital of Indigenous Medicine. Dominating the scene is Thimpu's Dzong, named Tashichoedzong, which delights the eye with its balanced proportions and air of majesty. It history dates back to the 13th century. Inside the Dzong, the majesty of the architecture, the beautiful proportions and lavish decorations are enough to take your breath away. This is the courtyard of the central administration and all around it are the ministries and the Royal Chamber. On the other side of the central tower, in which the temples are located, is the courtyard of the state clergy. Overnight stay at your hotel.

  • Day 7 : Thimphu - Punakha (1,350 M / 4,530 Ft) - By Surface / 77 Km / Approx 3Hrs - Wangdue Phodrang - By Su

    After breakfast you set off on your drive to Punakha. A little while after leaving Thimphu the road climbs rapidly and there are a number of sharp bends. The first hamlet is Oesepang, famous for its experimental potato farm. Further ahead is the village of Hongtso, where there is a check post for inspecting the travel permits of foreigners. The ancient village of Hongtso is set back from the road, and not far from it rises the large Hongtso Lhakhang which was founded in 1525 by the 14th Drukpa hierarch of Tibet, Ngawang Choegyel. The houses lining the road belong to Tibetans who have become Bhutanese citizens. 4 km beyond Hongtso you come to the majestic sight of the Dochu La Pass (3,050 m / 10,000 ft). A large Chorten amidst numerous others that are smaller in size marks the pass. Numerous prayer flags stretch across the road. The lookout point 500 m below the pass offers the most spectacular view over the high peaks of the Eastern Himalayas (provided the weather is clear). Driving through swarms of prayer flags fluttering in the wind you cross the pass and descend into the sub-tropical Punakha Valley. The road passes first through a temperate type of leafy forest where rhododendron and magnolia bloom in March and April, then a semi-tropical zone where orange trees, banana trees and cactuses are found in abundance. On arrival at Punakha you visit the Punakha Dzong, the winter seat of the Jhe Khenpo (Chief Abbot). The dzong is situated between the Pho-Chhu (male) and Mo-Chhu (female). A Dzong is a fortress that holds offices for civil officials and quarters for monastic authorities.

    After leaving Punakha you stop over at Lobesa for a lunch at a Bhutanese farm house. After lunch take a short hike to Chime Lhakhang (a special monastery for sterile women) which is about 30 minutes from the farm house. After the hiking trip, proceed to Wangdue Phodrang. Overnight stay at your hotel.
