Welcome to Bhutan. If you come from Kathmandu, you must have enjoyed the snow scenery of the Himalaya Mountains, and may have seen the famous Kanchenjunga and Jichu Drake Peaks if on a clear day. That is a wonderful start to your dream trip to Bhutan. Once your flight arrives at Paro airport, our guide will meet you and transfer you to the capital city Thimphu. On the way, you will see the Tamchog Lhakhang Iron Bridge.

After checking in at the hotel, you will have a Thimphu city tour including the National Memorial Chorten, built in memory of the third King of Bhutan Jigme Dorji Wangchuck. It is actually a stupa, housing many valuable religious paintings and Buddha statues. Over here you will see many local people circumambulating the Chorten throughout the day.

Then we will visit the Buddha Dordenma Statue, reputed as the largest seated statue of Buddha in the world. In addition to the Buddha itself, the 360-degree unobstructed panorama view of the city would be a reward for you.

Next we will go to Thimphu Dzong (Tashichho Dzong), a finest example of Bhutanese architecture, is actually a beautiful fortress housing the King and government offices. The decoratively painted wood exterior with intricate carvings makes it a mandatory to take a lot of photos. The dinner will be served at Folk Heritage Cafeteria offering an authentic Bhutanese cuisine, local drinks, starter, main course and soup.
