Highlights
Bhutan Encompassed Tour encircles the three important cities in Bhutan – Paro, Thimphu and Punakha, exploring it’s art & architecture, traditions & culture. Paro gives you the colorful aspects of Bhutan whereas Thimphu is the tiny capital with many historical and cultural monasteries and shrines. Punakha is the old capital of Bhutan with age old monasteries and extends a good place to learn more about Buddhism.

Paro - Hike to Taktsang Monastery (3,120m)
Paro
10 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeEarly in the morning, make an excursion to Taktshang Monastery – this has to be the monastery with the most outstanding setting in Bhutan.

(The hike demands a certain level of fitness and a pony ride to the monastery can be arranged at additional cost).

5 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedTakstang monastery is the main highlight of any Bhutan tour. The monastery is perched in a vertical hillside defying all engineering logic where it's believed that Guru Padma Sambhava came on a back of a flying tigress from Tibet in the 8th century and meditated here, thus the name 'Tiger's Monastery'Kyichu Lhakhang
