Day 1 :
Flying to Bhutan is one of the most remarkable experiences one
can have. Remarkable becuase of the enchanting and rare views
of Mt. Everest, Mt. Kanchenjunga, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Jhomolhari,
Mt. Jichu Drake and Mt. Tsrim Gang towering above the cloud
lines. At the Paro airport, one will be greeted by Bhutan's
unpolluted fresh air and smile of the experienced guides who
will be taking care of you throughout your stay in Bhutan.
Day 2: Paro sight seeing:
Paro is one of the most beautiful valleys in the country with
abundant paddy fields and meandering Pachhu river flowing through.
It has country's only Mesuem and the Airport. It is also rich
in culture and history - from massive Drukgyel Dzong (now in
ruin) to the most beautiful Taktshang Monastery (Tiger's Nest,
a blessed by glorious Guru Rimpoche in 8th Century) and many
others.
Day 3 : Paro - Thimphu:
Driving from Paro - Thimphu (Capital City) takes around 2 hours
for 54km through a mountanious road. Enroute to Thimphu, there
are ample sight seeing opportunities. Thimphu is a young city
with a modern development history of just around 3 decades.
It was primarily an agricultural valley dotted with many Dzongs
and Monateries.
Day 4: Thimphu - Punakha :
A drive to Punakha from Thimphu is said to be very interesting
owing to different landscapes rich in flora and fauna. Journey

refreshing as one passes through cool and warm broadleaf forest
within a short span of time.
