Day 01: Arrive in Paro – Thimphu (55 Km/1.5 hr.)
The flight to Paro is often regarded as one of the most breathtaking adventures that can be taken in the Himalayas. After landing at the Paro airport, you will need to go through immigration, get your bags, and then depart the terminal, where a guide or driver will be waiting to greet you. After that, start the trip to Thimphu, which should take around one hour coming from the airport. Stop along the way to pay a visit to Tamchog Lhakhang, a private shrine that is devoted to the saint Thangthong Gyalpo, who was known throughout the 13th century as the bridge builder. Over there, on the other side of the river, is where you'll find this temple. It is necessary to go over an iron chain bridge in order to reach the temple. This particular bridge is one of the few that is still standing out of the many that Thangthong Gyalpo constructed. It is also a nice spot for taking photographs to remember the experience by.
Drive ahead and you will eventually reach Chuzom, which is located at the point where the Paro and Thimphu rivers meet.
Upon arriving in Thimphu, check into the designated hotel. Take some time to unwind and replenish your energy after the trip. Later on, start an exploring tour in and around Thimphu town, including Clock Tower Square area and Local crafts market. You are welcome to peruse and make purchases of Bhutan's outstanding traditional crafts, including as textiles, paintings on Thangka scrolls, masks, jewellery, and other items made from local resources.
Overnight in Thimphu.

The majority of things for tourists to view are located in the nation's capital. The National Memorial Chorten, Buddha Dordenma, and The Jungshi Handmade Paper Factory will be visited throughout the course of a full day's excursion around Thimphu's historical sights and monuments. Continue your exploration of some of Thimphu's attractions, including as the Motithang Takin Preserve and the National Institute of Zorig Chusum, also called Painting school because of the rigorous six-year programme that its students must complete. Short drive up to a hilltop for an aerial view of the city, its suburbs, and Tashichho Dzong, followed by a course on Bhutan's 13 traditional skills and crafts. There are additional places of interest, such as the Changangkha monastery, the Simtokha Dzong, the Textile Museum, the Druk Wangyal Lhakhang, and the Farmer's Market (which is busier on the weekends), that can be visited depending on the amount of time you have available or your particular areas of interest.

Day 04: Paro Valley (Taktsang Hike)
Hike up to the famed Taktsang (Tiger's Nest) monastery, which is located at 3,120 metres (10,200 feet) above sea level. This enchanted monastery is perched on the side of a steep granite cliff, about one thousand feet above the bottom of the valley. It is widely considered to be one of the most impressive and significant examples of Bhutanese architecture. In the event that you are unable to go hiking for any reason, your Guide will be able to organise other engaging alternative activities for you. You also have the option of hiring a pony to get you up the hill till you reach the first viewpoint and café; however, you will need to be able to trek back down the hill. Although there is a good chance that some people won't make it all the way to the monastery, it is still worthwhile to make at least an attempt to go as far as the first viewpoint. We should make our way back to Paro, where we will hopefully have more time to explore the town on foot. Overnight in Paro
Day Highlight(s): Hike to the Tiger’s Nest
Optional: Excursion to Chele La Pass (highest motorable road in Bhutan) – about one & half hour drive from Paro valley floor and offers beautiful sights along the way. On a clear day, there are spectacular views of Mt. Jumolhari, Jichu Drake and adjoining peaks to the Northwest, as well as the view of Haa Valley.
