DAY 1 -- ARRIVE PARO. DRIVE TO THIMPHU:
Welcome to Paro.
The last 15 minutes or so is amazing with snow covered peaks jutting majestically out of the clouds and
then mountains either side as Druk Air zooms down the valley getting lower and lower and closer to the
airport. On the view are settlements on the ground, the bare paddy fields, the meandering tracks, the
river and streams, the trees and finally the town of Paro and the International Airport.
Located at an elevation of approximately 2200 meter above sea level, this airport sometimes is called as
“straight out of the fairy tales”.
The beautiful valley of Paro encapsulates within itself a rich culture, scenic beauty and hundreds of
myths and legends. It is home to many of Bhutan's oldest temples and monasteries, National Museum
and country's only airport. Mount. Chomolhari (7,314m) reigns in white glory at the northern end of the
valley and its glacial water plunge through deep gorges to form Pa Chhu (Paro river). Paro is also one of
the most fertile valleys in the Kingdom producing a bulk of the locally famous red rice from its terraced
fields.
Ta Dzong:
One time watch tower built to defend RinpungDozng during inter-valley wars of the 17th century, since
1967 Ta Dzong is serving as the National Museum of the country. It holds fascinating collection of art,
relics, religious thangkha paintings and Bhutan's exquisite postage stamps. The museum circular shape
augments its varied collection displayed over several floors.
Rinpung Dzong:
Built in 1646 by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal , the first spiritual and temporal ruler of Bhutan, the
Dzong houses the monastic body of Paro, the office of the Dzongda (district administrative head) and
Thrimpon (judge) of Paro district. The approach to the Dzong is through a traditional covered bridge
called NemiZam. A walk through the bridge, over a stone inlaid path, offers a good view of the
architectural wonder of the Dzong as well as life around it. It is also the venue of Paro Tshechu, held
once a year in the spring. Also visit the farm House.
Walk around in town:
OVER NIGHT IN HOTEL. : RETIRE EARLY AFTER DINNER

about what you might come across on your journey in the next 5 days. Thimphu (2,280m) is a small,
bustling city in the heart of the Himalaya. Thimphu’s charm comes not only from its wealth of museums
or places of historic interest, but also from the strong national character of its architectural style. Arrive
