Top 3 things to do in Bhutan

Hike to Tiger’s Nest Monastery

Perched dramatically on a cliffside 3,000 meters above sea level, Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang) is Bhutan’s most iconic landmark. The hike up to this sacred Buddhist site is challenging but incredibly rewarding, offering breathtaking views of the Paro Valley along the way. The monastery is believed to be the meditation site of Guru Rinpoche, who brought Buddhism to Bhutan. The final stretch of the trail takes you across a scenic footbridge with fluttering prayer flags, leading to the monastery’s stunning white walls and golden roofs. This spiritual and scenic journey is a must for any visitor to Bhutan.

Explore the Punakha Dzong

Bhutan’s Punakha Dzong, often called the 'Palace of Great Happiness,' is one of the country’s most impressive fortresses. Situated at the confluence of the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers, this grand dzong was once the seat of Bhutan’s government. The architecture, adorned with intricate wood carvings and vibrant murals, reflects the country’s deep Buddhist traditions. Stroll through its majestic courtyards, admire the towering golden statues, and witness the serene beauty of monks in prayer. Visiting Punakha Dzong offers an unforgettable glimpse into Bhutan’s rich culture and monastic heritage.

Discover the Tranquility of Phobjikha Valley

For those seeking peace and natural beauty, Phobjikha Valley is a dream destination. This glacial valley is home to Bhutan’s famous black-necked cranes, which migrate here from Tibet every winter. The valley’s rolling green hills, traditional farmhouses, and peaceful monasteries make it a perfect spot for hiking or simply enjoying nature. Visit Gangtey Monastery, one of Bhutan’s oldest monasteries, and experience the valley’s spiritual serenity. Whether you’re trekking through scenic trails or soaking in the slow pace of village life, Phobjikha Valley offers a truly authentic Bhutanese experience.
