Itinerary
On a clear day, the breathtaking vistas of the Himalayan ranges, notably including Mount Everest, are truly remarkable. However, the journey through the foothills of Bhutan and the landing itself is particularly exhilarating, featuring a sharp maneuver required to touch down on the small airstrip at Paro. A representative from Best Heritage Tours will meet you in Paro and transfer you to Thimphu which takes an hour. In the afternoon, visit Tashichho Dzong, memorial chorten, handicraft shops, trade center and Thimphu town.
Overnight in Thimphu.
Tashichho Dzong: This fortress serves as the office of the King, ministers and various government agencies. It is also the headquarters of Bhutan's central monastic community. Bhutan's spiritual leader, Je Khenpo, along with the monks from Thimphu and Punakha, resides in this area during the summer months. The Thimphu Festival occurs in the autumn season at this site.
Memorial Chorten: This tall white Thimphu landmark was built in 1974 to commemorate the third king, Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, who is generally considered the father of modern Bhutan. The four-story white structure is filled with statues and icons representing various deities from intricate Tantric teachings, making it a key worship spot for people in Thimphu and beyond.
There's a lot to see in this capital city with a very relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. Thimphu is a modest city home to approximately 90,000 residents, characterized by broad streets adorned with trees. Early in the morning, take a 15-minute walk on your own (or with a guide at a later date, if convenient) from your hotel to the memorial chorten built in honor of the late King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck. Every day, many Bhutanese come here to pray.
In the afternoon, begin your sightseeing journey with a visit to a nunnery located on the outskirts of Thimphu. After that, check out Changangkha Lhakhang (temple) to witness the process of making paper from the daphne plant, incorporating petals from cosmos and other plants. At the end of the day, you can also visit the large Tashichho Dzong, the administrative and religious center of Bhutan.
Overnight at a hotel in Thimphu
Jirka Nunnery: Located within the Drubthob Goemba (monastery). Around 70 nuns live in the monastery and pray there daily. Tourists can take in beautiful sights of Tashichho Dzong, the golf course, and Upper Thimphu.
Takin Sanctuary: The takin (Budorcas taxicolor) is Bhutan's national animal, known for its unique traits and connections to the country's history and legends. It is said that the popular saint Divine Madman created it using his magical powers, gathering a large number of followers. It looks like a cow from behind and a goat from the front, continuing to confuse taxonomists who are unable to properly classify other animals.
Paper Mill: Traditionally, paper was made from the Daphne plant in a simple way. Like rice paper, this paper is made to last.
Sangye Gang Lookout (Communication Tower): High above the city, at the end of the road that branches off from the entrance to the Youth Centre, the lower slope of the communication tower (2685 m) offers a spectacular view of the Thimphu Valley. The broadcasting studios of Bhutan Television are also located within the complex. Please do not take photos of the communication system, but the valley is worth a few snapshots. The area is known as Sangegan and becomes a lovers' lane late in the evening.
Set off for Punakha, Bhutan's historic winter capital, to start your day. On the way, stop at Dochu La pass (3,048 m) and admire the views of the eastern Himalayas, including Bhutan's highest peak, Gangkhar Puensum (7,550 m). The journey takes you through a diverse forest landscape before arriving in the lushly cultivated Punakha valley. Continue down the valley to the town of Wangdeephodrang, where you will also find a very large fortress in the shape of a sleeping bull. Our road gradually winds up to Pele La Pass at an altitude of 3,360 meters, where we stop to admire the snow-capped mountains, including Bhutan's sacred Mount Chomolhari. A lunch picnic could be organized at Chedebji Chorten (Stupa), which is inspired by the Swayambhunath in Kathmandu. This is a popular picnic lunch and pilgrimage site for Bhutanese travelling along the East-West Road.
Once in Trongsa, we can visit the courtyard of the historic Trongsa Dzong Trongsa is a highly sought-after destination, renowned for housing the largest and arguably the most magnificent dzong in Bhutan. It was from here that today's royal family emerged as the most powerful force in the early part of this century.
Overnight in Trongsa
After breakfast at the hotel, we will cross Yotong La (11,234 feet) and finally descend into the first of the four Bumthang valleys, Chumei Valley. Here, we will visit the palace that was originally used as a summer residence by the second king, and hike for about 15 minutes until we reach Prakar Monastery. Next, we will visit Yasra Weaving Factory (a colorful wool weaving factory). After that, we will continue to Jakar, the heart of the Bumthang Valley Bumthang Valley is considered one of the most sacred regions in the kingdom, steeped in numerous legends. This is the site where kings were cremated, and the current royal family is connected to a well-known saint named Pema Lhakhang, who was also a blacksmith in Jakar Township.
Afternoon visit to Dzong, Jambei Lhakhang, Kurjei Monastery, Tamsin, Swiss farm area, fruit and beer factory (optional - may not be allowed).
Total duration approximately 2 hours 30 minutes. Overnight stay in Bumthang.
After breakfast, return to Punakha, a warm place at an altitude of 1400 m. If you have time, check out the stunning Punakha Dzong and take a hike to Chimi Lhakhang, the temple dedicated to the divine madman. Chimi Lhakhang was established in 1499 by Lama Drukpa Kunley, who vanquished the demon Dochu La using a "thunderbolt of magical wisdom." Inside the lhakhang, there is a wooden statue of the thunderbolt lama, and women without children visit the temple to receive a blessing from the saint.
The temple is accessible via a 20-minute walk through rice fields from Sopsokha road. The road leads through rice fields to the small hamlet of Phana. There are few monks at the temple, and it is surrounded by numerous prayer wheels and some very beautiful stone slab carvings.
After breakfast, head west over the 3080m Dochula Pass. If the weather is clear, you can see the 7000m+ peaks of the Bhutanese Himalayas. The journey to Paro takes an additional two hours.
In the afternoon, visit the National Museum and Rinpung Dzong or other attractions as your tour guide will suggest.
