4 DAYS - BRIEF BHUTAN TRAVEL

The 4 day Brief Bhutan Travel is an experience of Bhutan for those that do not have the luxury of time to take in a more detailed tour of the Dragon Kingdom.  This tour takes you through two historically important valleys in western Bhutan – the bustling capital of Thimphu; and the beautiful valley of Paro, home of the Taktsang or Tiger’s Nest.

After breakfast hike to Taktsang Monastery. The trail is broad and the walk of approximately 2 hours uphill takes us to Taktsang Monastery.  Built on a sheer cliff face 900 metres above the valley floor, the monastery is a spectacular sight.  It is also an important pilgrim site for the Buddhists. 
In the afternoon, we drive to the ruins of the 17th Century Drukgyel Dzong, an historic monument built by the Shabdrung to commemorate his victory against marauding Tibetans in 1644. In fine weather the towering peak of the sacred Mount Jomolhari (7314m) appears as a stunning backdrop. On the return drive to Paro, visit other remote monasteries in the valley or stroll around town.
