Itinerary
Today we fly to Paro, your gateway to Bhutan, a nation whose cultural traditions remain well preserved.

Later, see the Tashichho Dzong, a 13th century Buddhist monastery and fortress, for an insight into Bhutanese spirituality. Overnight at Taj Tashi
Today after breakfast we get the opportunity to glimpse into rural Bhutanese life this morning when you visit the Folk Heritage Museum, which replicates a traditional farmhouse furnished as it would have been a century ago. Our next stop is the National Textile museum which showcases a wide range of beautiful Bhutanese textiles including the crowns and attire used by the monarchs and members of the Royal Family. It is also a wonderful introduction to the countryâs major weaving techniques and local style of dress. Lastly today you visit the National Library which is an important repository of ancient Dzongkha and Tibetan texts. Overnight at Taj Tashi
Time to bid farewell to the capital and our journey starts to the east, over the spectacular Dochu La Pass (3140m). Breathe in the most enchanting views of Bhutan and the Himalaya mountains before continuing into the green vales of Punakha, an ancient capital. Stretch your legs with a short hike to Chimi Lhakhang, the temple of the Divine Madman, Bhutanâs most unorthodox saint. See the stunning Punakha Dzong, also known as âthe palace of great happiness or blissâ and the second largest dzong in Bhutan. Overnight atAmankora, Punakha (Suite Room)
