Splendor of Bhutan

This tour takes you to the heartland of Drokpa people, the capital of Bhutan and to the largest, oldest and most amazing dzongs in the Kingdom. Also this tour will provide you an opportunity to explore villages, mingle with local people and a chance to experience the natural beauty of Bhutan.

Our splendor of Bhutan tour begins with a visit to Paro (Rinpung) Dzong which is one of the most beautiful Dzong in Bhutan built by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal in the year 1644. Next day we will hike up to the famous Taktsang Goemba (Monastery) one of the most important pilgrimage site for Buddhists. The view of Taktsang Monastery built in the cliff is an amazing sight.

After visiting the famous Taktsang Gomba we will drive for around 2 hours to Thimphu the capital of one of the world’s most intriguing countries. Here our visit will include National Memorial Chorten built in memory of late King Jigme Dorjee Wangchuk; Tashichho Dzong, seat of the national government and the Central Monastic Body. Also we will visit Simtokha Dzong the oldest Dzong of Bhutan.

Punakha at an elevation of 1,250m and once the capital of Bhutan for over 300 years will be our next visit. It is here that the first King of Bhutan was crowned in 1907. In Punakha we will explore Punakha Dzong which served as the seat of the Government till mid-1950s and arguably the most beautiful Dzong in the country, especially in spring. We will then make a day excursion to Gangtey Valley which is known for its natural beauty and is the winter habitat for endangered black-neck cranes.
