Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Bangkok to Paro (2-300m)

  Today- we depart to Bhutan and as we near Bhutan (and if the weather is clear)- we can see the massive peaks of the eastern Himalayas- including Mount Kanchenchunga 鈥� 8-585m (third highest mountain in the world) and Bhutan鈥檚 own holy mountain- Chomolhari - 7-325m.聽
  Upon arrival in Paro- your Bhutan visa will be stamped into your passport. Our guide & driver will receive you at the exit point with your name placard. We will drive you straight to Thimphu & check into your hotel where we will check you in to freshen up and also have lunch in the hotel.
  Our first stop after lunch will be the Royal Textile Academy & the Museum 鈥� The institution is dedicated to preserve and promote the Bhutanese textiles in particular and the thirteen arts in general as well as strive to promote the unique culture and traditions of Bhutan by creating international awareness and encouraging international collaboration to promote mutually beneficial exhibits and educational programs. Watch weavers in action.
  Next visit the Bhutan鈥檚 post office next to the Bhutan National Bank office. A visit to the Bhutan Post Office headquarters is a must if you are a stamp lover. Bhutan is believed to have some of the best postage stamps in the world. You can also get personalized postage stamps made in say 2 - 3 minutes for just US$ 3 to 5. Just take along a Pen Drive with photo/s or the officer there will click your photo and print the stamps for you to mail a postcard to your loved ones at home. You can also buy lovely stamp albums for souvenirs.
  Our last stop today will be at the Tashichhodzong- which was expanded in 1641 by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal- the temporal ruler in Bhutan during the 16th century. To this day the Dzong serves as the seat of the government and the home of about 500 monks during summer. The monks move towards Punakha for three months during the winters.
  Back to the hotel at Taj Tashi- Thimphu

• Day 2 : Thimphu excursion: The capital city

  Today- we will venture out for some adventure (Hiking & a picnic lunch). We will hike through the village of Kabesa north of Thimphu & end up at the base of Chari Monastery. Enroute- we will visit the privately run Choki Handricrafts school where children are taught about the thirteen arts & crafts of the Kingdom. It will be possible to get some lessons of what they are doing depending 聽on our time. Once in Chari- we will embark on a 2 hour round trip hike to the monastery. The Chari Monastery was among the first monasteries built in Bhutan by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel in the 17th Century- and it was from here that he established the Drukpa Monastic order in Bhutan. The Zhabdrung spent several years in retreat at the monastery during his lifetime.
  Option to try some horse riding through the village of Kabesa or hiking up to Chari if desired.
  Just recently- His Majesty The King offered 6 sandalwood boxes to the Chari Monastery. The sandalwood boxes will be used to store the precious relics in the monastery- including the treasures of Zhabdrung. His Majesty personally carried one of the 55-kg boxes up to the monastery- which is located on a hill in Dodeyna- about an hour鈥檚 walk from the road. It is believed that the act of a King Himself carrying an object- which would be used for such holy purposes- was in itself a most sacred and extraordinary event鈥� one which would accumulate great merit and bring immense benefit to the people and country. After the visit- we hike back to the base where picnic lunch awaits you by the riverside.
  On the way back to Thimphu- we can visit the Pangrizampa school of astrology where we have an option (depending on interest) to consult an astrologer to undertake some readings of one鈥檚 life- business and well being.
  Once in town & depending on time- we will visit the weekend farmers market and the indigenous Bhutanese craft bazaar & the handicrafts emporium run by the National Women鈥檚 Association of Bhutan (NWAB).
  Tonight- we will have a dignitary dinner with the local Bhutanese in one of the restaurants for interaction. Taj Tashi Hotel- Thimphu.

• Day 3 : Sightseeing in Paro

  聽This morning- we will check out of our hotel and move over to Paro via Haa valley. Before our journey- we will visit the Buddha Doderma- which is the largest sitting Buddha in the world at 170 feet. We will have our prayer flag hoisting ceremony here in the auspicious premises for the blessings of sentient beings and oneself. The view of the Capital city is incredible from here.
  After that- we will drive to Paro. We will first visit the National Museum of Bhutan that houses so many ancient artifacts & religious items. Next visit the Paro Dzong (16th century fort) that is home to about 500 monks and also offices of the governor and the district judge. Next we will walk a gradual downhill for about 30 minutes to the cantilevered bridge where the vehicle awaits you. Drive to our lunch spot at a farm house where we will have a demonstration of traditional archery & dart games. Those interested can participate & try the game. We will wind up the day with a visit to the most auspicious 7th century Kyichu temple near your hotel. Here you will be treated to a ritual ceremony that is to instill peace in ones disturbed mind & ward off evil from harming you. Back to the hotel for dinner. ZHIWA LING HOTEL

• Day 4 : Excursion to Taktsang (Tigers Nest)

  聽After an early breakfast today- we drive to the base of the Tigers Nest & prepare for our hike to the 鈥楾iger鈥檚 Nest鈥� or the Taktsang Monastery. This magical monastery clings to a vertical granite cliff 701m above the valley floor. The legend of Taktsang (Tiger鈥檚 lair) dates back to 747 AD when Guru Rinpoche (Padma Sambhava)- is believed to have arrived at this site on the back of a tiger and subdued the evil spirits in the region. The Guru then meditated in the holy cave that is the site of the Pelphug Lhakhang today. According to Tantric Buddhist mythology- the vanquished local deities became the protectors of the dharma and one of them- Singye Samdrup- is recognized today as the guardian deity of Taktsang. Guru Rinpoche is also believed to have concealed among the rocks of Taktsang various forms of Dharma treasures known as Ters- which were destined to be discovered later by Tertons (treasure discoverers) for the propagation of Dharma.
  In approximately 45 minutes- we will reach a small teahouse that has a wonderful panoramic view of the temple. For those interested- it is possible to get a closer view by hiking another 45 minutes to an hour (each direction) to reach the small chorten directly across from the temple. Anyone not interested in hiking further can relax at the teahouse and enjoy the view. The whole pilgrimage is estimated to be a 4 hour round trip excursion.
  On your way down- we will arrive at the Zhiwaling hotel for a tea ceremony- cup of coffee & snack depending on time & interest. We can also stage an hour-long cultural program in the massive atrium of the hotel. Free time to use spa & dinner will also be served in the hotel. Zhiwa Ling Hotel
