Explore the Dzongs of all these cities which are fine examples of Bhutanese architecture - be it the Tashichho Dzong, the current seat of the Bhutanese government in Thimphu, or the majestic Punakha Dzong located on the confluence of Po Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers. Throughout your journey, you will encounter cultural wonders, such as the National Memorial Chorten, the National Museum, and 108 Druk Wangyal Chortens which provide insights into Bhutan's history and traditions.
  • Get a chance to marvel at the scenic valleys in Bhutan from various vantage points like Dochu La, Buddha Dordenma Statue, or the Drukgyel Dzong of Paro. Not to forget the most famous trek to the Tiger’s Nest - a beautiful cave Monastery which hangs on a sheer cliff overlooking the entire valley below. Find peace as you sit down quietly in one of the caves and meditate after hours of hiking through the forest. Immerse yourself in the culture of Bhutan as you listen to various legends and stories that are deeply rooted in Bhutanese culture which is a testament for spiritual reflection and connection with nature of the happy people of Bhutan.
