Day 01 : Paro
Upon arrival at Paro airport, you will be received by our guide and representative, and will escort you to the hotel. In the afternoon your series of visits begin with an errand to Ta Dzong, an ancient watchtower, which now is the National Museum. Below the museum is the Paro Rinpung Dzong, the centre of civil and religious authority in this valley. It is believed that this fortress is built on the heap of jewels in 15th century.
A short walk takes you to the base of the dzong and across a traditional cantilevered, covered bridge. In the evening start sorting and packing your trekking equipment for the trek you will start tomorrow.
Day 02 : Paro Tiger’s Nest (Taktsang) Hike
Drive towards the road point to Taktsang. Taktsang is the place most visited by both the tourists and Bhutanese. Taktsang Monastery, the most famous of Bhutan’s monasteries is perched on the side of a cliff 900m above the Paro valley floor. Taktsang means “Tiger’s Nest,” so named because Guru Rinpoche reportedly flew to the site of the monastery on the back of a flying tigress. This day hike is not only historically and culturally interesting, but also incredibly scenic! It takes about one and half hour to reach the cafeteria, which gives a breathtaking view of the Tiger’s Nest. If you still feel like hiking then you can take another hour to reach the temple. Then return back to the cafeteria for your lunch and then walk down hill after your lunch. You will be driven back to the hotel from the base camp.
