Full Itinerary
Day 1: Fly to Paro, explore Thimpu
Transfer to the airport in Nepal for a short 1-hour flight to Paro. The journey features a breathtaking descent through dramatic valleys into the Kingdom of Bhutan. Upon arrival in Paro, your Bhutanese guide will greet you and assist with customs and visa formalities before escorting you to your hotel.
Continue with a scenic 2-hour drive to the capital city, Thimpu. After lunch at a local restaurant, begin sightseeing with visits to the Textile Museum, a traditional paper-making factory, and the Post Office, where Bhutan’s renowned stamps beautifully illustrate its myths, traditions, and culture. Alternatively, you may enjoy a leisurely walk around town with your guide.
Overnight stay at the hotel.
Day 2: Thimpu, Taktsang, Paro
In the morning, drive to Satsam Chorten before beginning a hike to the iconic Taktshang (Tiger’s Nest) Monastery, built around a sacred cave where Guru Rimpoche (Guru Padmasambhava) once meditated. According to legend, Guru Rimpoche flew to this site on the back of a tigress from Tibet and meditated here for three months. The spectacular view of the monastery makes the steep 1.5-hour ascent along a wide mountain trail truly rewarding.
After lunch, continue to Kyichu Lhakhang, one of Bhutan’s most ancient and revered temples.
Overnight at the hotel.
Day 3: Paro, departure
After breakfast, your Bhutanese guide will accompany you to Paro Airport and bid you a warm farewell.
