Departing every Thursday from Kathmandu Tour
An excellent option for those with only limited time, this tour
takes you by air from Kathmandu to Paro, Bhutan's second largest
town set in an exquisite valley beneath the majestic Paro
Dzong(fort). Here you will visit the Dzong itself, the monastic
and administrative heart of the areas, as well as the famed
Tiger's Nest Monastery—Taktsang. Then it is on to Thimphu,
Bhutan's tiny capital nestled in a broad, beautiful valley about
2 hours drive from Paro. Here you will visit the great
Tashichodzong, the seat of Government in Bhutan. This
magnificent building was erected without use of a single metal
nail or support. You will also have a chance to buy some of
Bhutan's famous weaving here in the Handicraft Center and have
time to wander around this unique town and take in the
atmosphere of this extraordinary Himalayan Kingdom. You then
head back to Paro for the flight to Kathmandu. |
