Duration: 5 Days / 4 Nights
Destinations Covered: Paro - Thimphu - Paro

Day 1: Paro - Thimphu
Arrive at the only airstrip of Bhutan at Paro. Your landing in Bhutan is nothing short of a dreamlike sequence from a romance classic laced with thrills and excitement that gets you wishing that the trip would never end. The Kingdom of Bhutan unfolds beneath your airplane as the clouds part to let you peek at the rice farms terraced on to the gorgeous valley. Besides the terraced farms, some of Bhutan's oldest temples, monasteries, and National Museum (at the ancient watchtower) can be found here. On landing, our representative will escort you on a drive to Thimphu, Bhutan's capital city. On arrival, check in at the hotel and relax for an overnight stay at the hotel in Bhutan.

Day 2: Thimphu
Breakfast at the hotel and go on a sightseeing tour of the capital city that includes visits to the most popular tourist attractions as well as the most bizarre of them all. Walk along the banks of the river that takes you through the city's government, religious and commercial past preserved in its buildings and monuments. See Tashichho Dzong (main secretarial building and home to the throne room of King of Bhutan), The Thangka Painting School, National Library, Traditional Medicine Institute and shop for souvenirs at the Handicraft Emporium. Return to the hotel for an overnight stay in Thimphu.

Day 3: Thimphu - Paro
Drive to Paro after breakfast at the hotel. En route visit the 17th Century Simtokha Dzong (oldest in the country) located on a spectacular ridge. On arrival, check in at the hotel and move for a historical sightseeing tour of the valley. Visit ruins of Drugyel Dzong or the victorious fortress - a monastery that kept the Tibetan invaders at bay for its strategic location in 17th century. It was from this monastery that the Bhutanese repelled several invading Tibetan armies during the 17th century. Return to the hotel for an overnight stay in Paro.

Day 4: Paro
It will take more than a day to explore the riches that Paro hides from the prying eye. After breakfast at the hotel, go on an excursion to the 17th century Rinpung Dzong that is admired as much for its precise symmetry as it is for the ruler who built it. Shabdrung Ngwang Namgyal was the first spiritual ruler of Bhutan. Later in the day, visit Ta Dzong on the hillside, and go on an excursion to the serene Taktsang monastery or the Tiger's Nest that is set on a cliff overlooking the valley. Return to the hotel for an overnight stay in Paro.

Day 5: Departure from Paro
Breakfast at the hotel and relax. Our representative will escort you to the airport at Paro from where you board the flight back home or to your onward destination.
