5 Nights 6 Days itinerary for visiting Bhutan.
Day 1.
Arrive at Paro and Proceed to Thimphu (55 kms | 1hours)
Once you arrive in Paro, you will be received
by your Tour representative and guide who will transfer you to your hotel in
Thimphu.
Thimphu: Capital to the tiny Himalayan
kingdom of Bhutan, Thimphu is one of the smallest capitals in the world. For
most part of its history, Bhutan has tried consciously to save its culture from
the influences of the western world. It is not that modernity has not reached
this region, but is being introduced in a phased and balanced manner that is
unheard of at any place in the world. All these make Thimphu and other parts of
the country a unique destination.
Upon arrival, proceed for check-in at your
hotel. After taking rest for some time take a tour of the town.Trashi Chhoe
Dzong: Also called Fortress of the Glorious Religion, it is situated north of
the city on the west bank of the Wang Chhu. The Dzong was the site of the
lavish formal coronation of the fifth King in 2008 and hosts the city’s biggest
annual bash, the colorful tsechu festivities. National Library: Housing an
extensive collection of priceless Buddhist manuscripts.
Spend rest of the evening at leisure.
Overnight in Thimphu Hotel
Day 2. Sightseeing in Thimphu
After breakfast, proceed for sightseeing.
Buddha View Point: Another place from where you can get a good overview of the
Thimphu valley is from the Buddha Point (Kuensel Phodrang).
You can pay your obeisance and offer prayers
to the Buddha Statue, the largest in the country and then walk around and take
a glimpse of the valley. Simtokha Dzong: The monastery was built in 1627 by
Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal. It houses the Institute for Language and Cultural
Studies. The carvings behind the prayer wheel in the courtyard are a major
attraction of this temple. Memorial Chorten: It is also known as the Thimphu
Chorten, and is located on Doeboom Lam in the southern-central part of the city
near the main roundabout and Indian military hospital.
Takin Mini Zoo: The Takin is the national animal of Bhutan, and
looks like a cross between a cow and a goat. Legend has it that the animal was
created by the great Buddhist yogi, Drupa Kunley, and it can be found only in
Bhutan and nearby areas. In the evening free time to explore Thimphu City.
Overnight in Thimphu Hotel
After having breakfast, check-out of the hotel and proceed to
Punakha. On the way to Punakha you will go through the Dochula Pass.
Stop at Dochula View Point
which is the first stop after leaving Thimphu. About 45 minutes from Thimphu,
it offers visitors their first glimpse of the Himalayan range. The road to
Punakha branches left and curls its way down to the relatively low lands of the
Punakha valley. On arrival, check-in at the hotel. Later, go for sightseeing.
Punakha Dzong: Majestically standing on an island between the
confluence of the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers, the city's dzong is one of the
most photogenic of all Bhutan's ancient fortresses, and you will see pictures
of it hanging in hotels and restaurants throughout the country. The dzong is
joined to the mainland by an arched wooden bridge and contains many precious
relics from the days when successive kings reined the kingdom from this valley.
In the evening, return to your hotel and enjoy a comfortable overnight stay.
Overnight in Punakha Hotel .
Day 4.Punakha – Paro (160 kms | 5 hours)
After breakfast this morning, check-out of the hotel and proceed
to Paro. On the way visit Chimi Lhakhang (Fertility Temple): Situated on a hillock
in the centre of the valley below Metshina is the yellow-roofed Chimi Lhakhang,
built in 1499 by the cousin of Lama Drukpa Kunley in his honour after he
subdued the demoness of the nearby Dochu La with his ‘magic thunderbolt of
wisdom’. A wooden effigy of the lama’s thunderbolt is preserved in the lhakhang
and childless women go to the temple to receive blessings from the saint. It’s
a pleasant 20-minute walk across fields from the road at Sopsokha to the
temple. You will cross an archery ground before making a short climb to the
temple.
Upon arrival in Paro, check-in at the hotel.
In the evening free time to explore paro town.
Overnight in In Paro
DAY 5. Take a day
walk to the ‘Tiger's Nest’, the sacred Taktshang monastery which clings to the
rock face 900 metres above the valley floor. Guru
Rinpoche is said to have flown to the site riding on a tigress. He
subsequently meditated here for three months. It is one of Bhutan’s most
holy sites and draws pilgrims not only from Bhutan but also from neighbouring
Buddhist countries.
You can have lunch at the Taktshang cafeteria from where you get a
spectacular view of the monastery. On the way back you can visit the ruined Drukgyel
Dzong (fortress of victory), constructed to
commemorate the victory over Tibetan invaders in 1644 and destroyed by a butter
lamp fire in 1951. Nearby you can also visit the 7th century Kyichu
Lhakhang, a temple of historical significance and one of the most sacred
shrines in Bhutan.
If you are not able to Hike
then you can
Visit Bhutan’s most
impressive and well known Dzong, perhaps the finest example of Bhutanese
architecture you will see.
Rinpung Dzong: It is a fortress-monastery that serves both as a
civil administrative center and as a monastic home for a community of monks.
Most dzongs were built in the mid-1600s to protect the inhabited valleys from
invasion by Tibet. The Paro Dzong was started in 1644 on the order of Shabdrung
Ngawang Namgyal, the unifier of modern day Bhutan. Unlike most of the Dzongs in
Bhutan, it survived the massive 1897 earthquake mostly unscathed,
though it was damaged by fire in 1907. National Museum of Paro: Housed inside
the revamped Ta-dzong building in Paro, National Museum of Bhutan is a cultural
museum that has put on display the antique items gathered from different parts
of the country.
Spend the evening at leisure wandering around Paro town for some
souvenir shopping and to get a feel of the city.
Overnight in Paro
Day 6.Departure

Airport to board your flight back Home with loads of sweet memories.
