Day 1 : Fly into Paro and then take a shuttle to Thimphu (55km, approx. 1 hour and 15 minutes drive)

One of the most breathtaking flights over the Himalayas is the one to Paro. The flight offers magnificent vistas and an exhilarating descent into the Kingdom, whether taking off from Kolkatta or Kathmandu across the foothills of the Himalayas. The crisp, fresh mountain air you'll breathe as you exit the plane will be Bhutan's first present to you. You will be greeted by one of our representatives after completing immigration procedures and retrieving your luggage, and they will then drive you to Thimphu,the capital city of Bhutan, with a stop in Chuzom along the way.the point where the rivers of Thimphu and Paro meet. This confluence is adorned with stupas in three different styles: Tibetan, Nepalese, and Bhutanese. On your left, you will see Tschogang Lhakhang, also known as "the shrine of the good horse," not far from Chuzom. It is a private temple that was constructed in the 15th century as a consequence of a visitation from Chenrezig, the compassionate Buddha, who appeared as Balaha,the magnificent horse.

Upon arrival, check into the accommodation in Thimphu. Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan and the country's administrative, religious, and commercial hub, is a distinctive place with an uncommon blend of modern development and age-old customs. With a population of around 100,000, it may still be the only capital city in the entire world without a traffic light.

Visit Buddha Point (Kuensel Phodrang) in the late afternoon; it is a delightful location with a huge statue of Buddha perched atop the Kuensel Phodrang. Additionally, the region offers a fantastic view of the Thimphu valley from the west.

Then a stroll into the heart of Thimphu's city. Visit the Local Crafts Bazaar as well to peruse some of Bhutan's exquisite traditional artwork. You can purchase hand-woven fabrics, thangkha paintings, masks, ceramics, sculptures in slate and wood, jewelry, and other intriguing products created of local resources here.

Following on the agenda is Changangkha Monastery. This monastery is perched atop a hill with a view of the valley of Thimphu. In the fifteenth century, Lama Phajo Drugom Zhipo constructed it. Many Thimphu parents bring their newborn children to this monastery to receive a high lama's blessing.

Visit the King's Memorial Chorten afterward. People are constantly circling it while chanting and turning their prayer wheels. His Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuk, known as "the father of modern Bhutan," the third monarch of Bhutan, had the idea to build this landmark as a tribute to world peace and prosperity. It was finished in 1974, after his tragic death, and it serves as both a monument to peace and a memorial to the Late King.

After seeing Trashichhoedzong, end the day. The Secretariat building, the throne room of His Majesty, the King, and different government departments are all housed in this majestic fortress/monastery. Additionally, it serves as the central monk body's and chief abbot's summer residence.

The 108 Druk Wangyal Chortens, or stupas, were constructed at Dochula Pass by Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuk, the oldest Queen Mother. These chortens are constructed in three layers, with the main chorten in the middle and 45 chortens in each of the lower two layers, 36 in the middle layer, and 27 in the top layer.

Then, tour a portion of the Royal Botanical Park, which serves as Bhutan's first botanical park and the backdrop to the Dochula Pass.

Visit the Punakha Dzong in the afternoon, also known as the "Palace of Great Happiness," which Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal erected in 1637 at the confluence of the Phochu and Mochu rivers. In the past, Bhutan's spectacular dzong functioned as the country's political and religious hub. It boasts a six-story, gold-domed tower and is around 600 by 240 feet. Courtyards and religious statues inside give a hint as to the breadth of history and spiritual tradition present. Your tour guide will help you better grasp this complex, yet long-established, culture that is foreign to us.

After that, set out on a fascinating journey to Chimi Lhakhang. This Lhakhang is also referred to as the temple of fertility and is located on a mound in the valley's middle. It is a common belief that if a couple prays at this temple and expresses a desire for a child, they will typically be blessed with a child fairly shortly. The trail travels through rice fields before arriving at the small town of Pana, which means "field." You can get a rare peek into local life by taking a stroll through the village next to the temple.

The temple's 14-foot-tall main Avalokiteshvara statue is made of bronze (Chenrigzig chagtong chentong). Statues of Guru Padmasambawa, Gautama Buddha, Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel, Tsela Namsum, the 21 Taras, and Tsepamay are among the others (Buddha of longevity). One of the largest Avalokiteshvara statues in the nation was totally made by regional Bhutanese artists.The temple complex also has a permanent higher study and meditation center for nuns, which offers training in practical life skills including tailoring, embroidery, statue construction, and thangkha painting in addition to religious instruction.

Drive back to Paro after descending Dochu La, via the scenic route along the Wang Chhu and Paro Chhu river basins, and then passing through Paro town as you approach the northern end of the valley.

Taktshang Monastery excursion after breakfast (approx. 5 hours round trip walk). One of Bhutan's most well-known monasteries, it is positioned 900 meters above the Paro valley floor on the cliffside. The monastery is known as "Tiger's Nest" because it is said that Guru Rinpoche meditated there after riding here on the back of a tigress. Since Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal visited this location in 1646, it has been revered as a most sacred spot, and today all Bhutanese visit it at least once during their lifetimes.

Drive to the ruins of Drukgyel Dzong later in the afternoon. In this ruined fortress, Bhutanese warriors once fought Tibetan invaders. The sacred Chomolhari, or "mountain of goddess," with her snowy dome, may be viewed in all her splendor from the approach road to the Dzong. Visit a traditional farm house nearby for a detailed look into the way of life of the neighborhood, particularly the villagers.

Visit Kyichu Lhakhang on your way back to the hotel, one of the 108 temples that Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo erected in the Himalayas in the seventh century. Bhutan has been exposed to Buddhism through the construction of this temple.
