From Thimphu, the route crosses the Dochula Pass and descends to the Punakha Valley, where you cross the country's longest suspension bridge before visiting the Punakha Dzong and sharing a farm lunch in a local home. A visit to Sangchen Dorji Lhendrup Nunnery and a quiet blessing at Taphu Monastery in the Phobjikha Valley add a reflective side to the programme.
Before leaving, there’s a hike to the famous Tiger’s Nest Monastery clinging to cliffs above Paro, followed by a farewell dinner and a masked dance performance. The trip balances gentle walking with cultural insights, including a contemporary art roundtable in Thimphu. It concludes with a transfer back to Paro’s airport, without fuss or fanfare.
