range from Kathmandu, the journey offers fascinating views and an exciting descent into the
Kingdom. Bhutan’s first gift to you as you disembark from the aircraft will be cool, clean fresh
mountain air. After immigration formalities and baggage collection, you will be met by our
representative, and afterwards drive to Thimphu, the capital town of Bhutan.
On arrival, in Thimphu- The capital town of Bhutan and the centre of government, religion and
commerce, Thimphu is a unique city with unusual mixture of modern development alongside
ancient traditions. With the population of about 90,000 it is perhaps still the world’s only capital city
without a traffic light.

Tachogang Lhakhang is located in Paro district, on the way to Thimphu. It was founded by
Thankthong Gyelpo after he experienced a vision of Guru Rimpochhe, Amitaba and
Avalokiteshvara near site. The caretakers today are said to be descendants of Thangtong Gyelpo.
Inside the temple one can see the masters relics, including his walking stick come here to get

Secret Mantras), Simtokha is often said to be the first dzong built in Bhutan. In fact, there were dzongs in
Bhutan as early as 1153, but this was the first dzong built by the Zhabdrung, and was the first structure to
incorporate both monastic and administrative facilities. It is also the oldest dzong to have survived as a
complete structure. 
After lunch visit drive to Paro.
Visit Nation Museum
Rimpung Dzong is probably Bhutan's best known and most iconic Dzhong. This is probably the first building
you will notice when you land at Paro International Airportand will probably be your first memory of Bhutan.
The imposing Dzhong is perhaps the finest example of Dzhong architecture existing the world today, the
massive buttered walls of the fortress dominate over the valley. The Rinpung Dzhong's names translates to
the " Fortress on a heap of Jewels "

After breakfast drive to Paro and do hike to Taktshang Monastery (5hrs hike):  It is one of the most
famous of Bhutan’s monasteries, perched on the side of a cliff 900m above the Paro valley floor. It
is said that Guru Rinpoche arrived here on the back of a tigress and meditated at this monastery
and hence it is called ‘Tiger’s Nest’. This site has been recognized as a most sacred place and
visited by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyel in 1646 and now visited by all Bhutanese at least once in
their lifetime. On 19 April 1998, a fire severely damaged the main structure of building but now this
Bhutanese jewel has been restored to its original splendor.

Along the way, visit the 7th century KyichuLhakhang, one of the 108 temples built in the
