Upon reaching Thimphu in the evening, check in to your hotel for a well-deserved overnight stay.
Start your morning early with a drive toward the scenic Dochula Pass (3,150 meters), famous for its 108 memorial chortens and panoramic views of the snow-capped Himalayan ranges. Continue downhill into the subtropical Punakha Valley to visit Chimi Lhakhang, the well-known “Fertility Temple.” Explore the magnificent Punakha Dzong, majestically situated at the confluence of the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers, and walk across the nearby long suspension bridge. After a full day of sightseeing in Punakha, return to Thimphu in the evening for an overnight stay at your hotel.
Dedicate the morning to exploring Thimphu’s key cultural landmarks, including the colossal Buddha Dordenma (Buddha Point), the sacred National Memorial Chorten, the interactive Simply Bhutan living museum, Changangkha Lhakhang, and the Motithang Takin Preserve to view Bhutan’s unique national animal. You will also get quick photo stops near the National Library, the Zorig Chusum School of Traditional Arts, and Tashichho Dzong.

Head up to the National Museum of Bhutan (Ta Dzong) to view historical artifacts and enjoy a panoramic bird’s-eye view of Paro International Airport nestled in the valley below. Pause along the Paro River for scenic photos, see the historic Tamchog Lhakhang Iron Bridge, and stop at the viewpoints offering a striking distance view of the famous cliffside Tiger’s Nest (Taktsang Monastery). Return to your Paro hotel for the evening.
Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before embarking on a relaxing journey back down the mountains from Paro toward Phuentsholing.
