    After breakfast, we journey to Bumthang, one of Bhutan’s most beautiful and sacred valleys. Upon arrival, enjoy a walking tour through serene landscapes steeped in spirituality. Visit Jambay Lhakhang, one of Bhutan’s oldest temples, built over 1,000 years ago by Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo. Continue to Kurjey Lhakhang, where Guru Rimpochey meditated, and walk through the countryside to Tamshing, a 16th-century monastery. Explore the Swiss Project, known for local produce. The next day, visit Pema Choling Nunnery and Mebar Tso, the “Burning Lake.” Experience a powerful drum ceremony by the nuns, enjoy lunch with them, and visit Jakar Lhakhang before returning to your resort to relax and unwind with mountain views.

    After breakfast, you’ll fly to Paro, a stunning valley rich in history and natural beauty. Upon arrival, check into your hotel and enjoy a leisurely lunch. Paro will be your base for the next three nights as you explore its many cultural and scenic highlights. Discover Ta Dzong, the circular 17th-century watchtower turned National Museum, and visit traditional Bhutanese farmhouses for a glimpse into rural life. Journey to Chele La, Bhutan’s highest motorable pass, and hike to Kila Goemba, an ancient cliffside nunnery. At the Phuba Mandala Centre, witness the creation of sacred sand mandalas. Finally, trek to the legendary Taktsang Monastery—Bhutan’s iconic Tiger’s Nest—perched dramatically on a cliff, offering breathtaking views and spiritual serenity.

    Today marks the final day of your unforgettable Bhutan journey. After enjoying a leisurely breakfast, you will be transferred to Paro International Airport for your onward flight.
