Departing from Thimphu, Bhutan’s capital, we embark on a scenic journey across the stunning Dochula pass at 3,050 meters. The ascent reveals breathtaking panoramic views of the snow-capped Bhutanese Himalayas, enhanced by 108 chortens and colorful prayer flags that add to the spiritual ambiance.
Descending into the vibrant Punakha Valley, known for its fertile land and citrus and banana plantations, we are greeted by the sweet scent of ripe fruits and a colorful landscape. A highlight of our trip is the Punakha Dzong, an 18th-century architectural marvel at the confluence of the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers, rich in history and cultural heritage.

From Wangdi, the road ascends towards the Black Mountains immediately after crossing the Tike Bridge. The valley is quite narrow, with houses and fields situated on steep slopes. Gradually, the number of dwellings decreases as the road winds through a dense forest. The village of Nobding is located on a plateau surrounded primarily by rhododendron and magnolia trees. A few kilometers ahead, we take a right turn and navigate through an oak and rhododendron forest, leading us to the expansive Phobji Valley, home to the Gangtey Monastery, which translates to “the summit of the mountain.” 
Gangtey Gompa is situated atop a small hill that rises from the valley floor. Established in the 16th century, it is the only Nyingmapa monastery west of the Black Mountains and the largest of its kind in Bhutan. We depart from this picturesque location, crossing the Dochu La at 3050 meters, where the view of the Bhutanese Himalayas is breathtaking, and continue our journey towards Paro. Overnight at Paro.

Today, we explore the country’s second largest city, starting with the Nemi Zam, a beautiful wooden bridge leading to the Rinpung Dzong, or “the fortress of the amassed jewels.” Originally destroyed by fire in 1907, it was rebuilt and now houses the district administration and a monastic community, featuring remarkable Buddhist paintings.
Next, we visit the Ta Dzong, a 17th-century watchtower transformed into the National Museum in 1968. It showcases Bhutan’s rich cultural heritage, including traditional costumes, thangkas, jewelry, and various artifacts.
To the north lies the Dungtse Lhakhang, known for its cylindrical shape and stunning wall paintings of great masters and scenes from the Bardo Thödol, serving as both a place of worship and a testament to the region’s artistic heritage. Overnight at Paro.

In the morning, embark on a hike to the Taktsang Monastery, a highly regarded pilgrimage destination in the Himalayas, famously referred to as the “Tiger’s Nest,” situated 800 meters above the valley floor. 
The monastery derives its name from a legend in which Padmasambhava is said to have flown from Tibet on a tiger to meditate in a cave.  The demanding forested trail culminates at a viewpoint of 2900 meters, providing breathtaking vistas of the temple adorned with prayer flags, which features a prominent statue of Padmasambhava along with various artistic representations of him. A lunch break can be enjoyed at this viewpoint on the return journey from the monastery.
We will also explore Kyichu Lhakhang, one of Bhutan’s oldest and most exquisite temples, established in the 7th century. This site is one of two sacred locations created to subdue a demon in the Himalayas, allowing you to delve into its rich history and spiritual significance.
