Arrive at Paro International Airport and meet your guide for a scenic drive to Thimphu. The route offers river views, terraced fields, and forested mountains. Spend the afternoon exploring key cultural sites: Memorial Chorten, the Folk Heritage Museum, the National Institute for Zorig Chusum (traditional arts school), the Motithang Takin Preserve, and the grand Tashichho Dzong, the administrative and monastic center of Bhutan.
Begin your journey to Punakha with a drive to Dochula Pass (3,100 m), known for its panoramic Himalayan views and 108 memorial chortens. Continue to Sopsokha village for a gentle walk to Chimi Lhakhang, the Fertility Temple linked to Bhutanese folklore. In Punakha, explore the majestic Punakha Dzong and walk across the long suspension bridge for sweeping river and valley views.
Drive back to Paro, passing through forested hills and rural landscapes. After lunch, explore Paro Rinpung Dzong, the National Museum (Ta Dzong), Kyichu Lhakhang, one of Bhutan’s oldest temples, Dungtse Lhakhang, and Paro Town. This day offers a relaxed blend of architecture, history, and local exploration.
Travel west towards Haa Valley, crossing Chelela Pass at 3,900 m, Bhutan’s highest motorable pass, known for prayer flags and stunning Himalayan views. If the weather is clear, you may catch views of Mount Jomolhari. In Haa, visit Lhakhang Karpo and Lhakhang Nagpo and take a short nature walk to Kila Nunnery, beautifully perched along a cliffside.
Embark on the iconic hike to Tiger’s Nest, Bhutan’s most revered monastery. Follow the pine-scented forest trail as your guide shares the story of Guru Rinpoche, who meditated here in the 8th century. At the monastery, experience its spiritual calm, cliffside architecture, and stunning views of the Paro Valley, a highlight of any Bhutan cultural tour.
Spend a relaxed morning in Paro before your transfer to the airport. Your Bhutan cultural journey ends with memories of monasteries, mountain valleys, heritage sites, and the warm spirit of Bhutanese culture.
