Day 1: Reception and Local Visits
- Receive at Paro International Airport:
- Visit Kichu Lhakhang: One of the oldest temples in Bhutan built in 659 by King Songtsen Gampo of Tibet.
- Drugyel Dzong: The dzong Drukgyel (meaning Druk-Bhutan and Gyel-victory) named to commemorate the victory of Bhutan over Tibetan invaders in 1644. One of the features of the dzong was a false entrance that lured the returning Tibetan invaders into an enclosed courtyard during the second attack.
- Dumtse Lhakhang: The temple looks like a Chorten/Stupa, built in 1433 by the iron-bridge builder the great Yogi Thangtong Gyalpo.
- Drop at Hotel/Resort
Day 2: Hike to Paro Taktsang
- Taktsang Lhakhang is Bhutan’s most iconic landmark and religious site. The name Taktsang translates to “The Tiger’s Nest”. This temple is one of the most holy sites in the kingdom and clings impossibly to a sheer cliff face 900 hundred meters above the Paro It is 5 kms from the road point.
- Upon return from the Tiger’s Nest, if guest wish, visit to Ta Dzong: The unusual round building said to be in the shape of a conch shell, with 5m-thick walls. The Ta Dzong suffered damage in the 2011 earthquake. Today the dzong is converted to a national Museum. The place is also a perfect viewpoint for watching Paro town and the valley.
- Paro Dzong: Paro Dzong ranks as a high point of Bhutanese architecture. The massive buttressed walls that tower over the town are visible throughout the valley. It was formerly the meeting hall for the National Assembly and now, like most dzongs, houses both the monastic body and district government offices, including the local courts. Most of the chapels are closed to tourists but it's worth a visit for its stunning architecture and views.
