This tour allows more time to relax and absorb the experience in western Bhutan.It combines almost all the important cultural highlights and allows time to wander through the streets for some souvenir shopping. We start the trip in Paro with cultural experiences and end with a hike to the famous Tiger Nest, clusters of temples built on sheer rock face. In Thimphu we take through the grand textile museum, school of arts and crafts, traditional paper factory, the great Tashicho Dzong (capital fortress) and some time to witness Bhutanese men playing archery. We add day hikes to scared temples. Punakha stay is an opportunity to see one of the most beautiful passes called Dochhula.

The two to three hours drive, one way, offers an experience to enjoy the natural treasure revealed through temperate and sub-tropical forests.
