On a clear day, the panoramic views of the Himalaya are sensational, including Everest (if you are flying from Delhi and Kathmandu), but particularly exciting is the approach through the Bhutanese foothills and the landing, including a few steep turns to land at the tiny airstrip of Paro.

  Thimphu To Paro (1.5 Hr)

  After the breakfast, we will check out from the hotel and drive back to Paro. If you are interested, we will hike to Taktsang Monastery or often called Tiger Nest Temple is built around a cave in which Guru Rimpoche (also known as Guru Padmasambhava) meditated. The eighth century old monastery is perched on a rock overlooking a sheer drop and clings seemingly impossible to a cliff of rock at 900m above the valley floor. For entire Buddhist around the world, it is place of pilgrimage but for a tourist, it is one of the must visit place before we die. The hike is almost 2 hours walk, uphill at 30 to 40 degree inclined for an average hiker however we might take full day depending on your pace. First of half of the hike which we pull, up to cafeteria feels never ending however from the half point due to magical structure right inform us, we are all energized to push further and you actually feel very near, at the end of the you are done and filled with overjoyed. Due to the happiness, of making on the top, we actually walk down so fast, we don’t feel its actually that long.
