Bhutan: 2-Night Private Tour of Thimpu and Monasteries Paro, Bhutan - Meeting Point

Fly over the Himalayas, hike to cloud-shrouded monasteries, and get to know first-hand the small Himalayan Kingdom that blends the ancient with the modern on this 2-night private tour.
Meet your guide in central Kathmandu for the airport transfer. On the 1-hour Druk Air flight, sit back and enjoy the spectacular descent through mountainous valleys into the Kingdom of Bhutan. Once in Paro, your English-speaking guide will escort you through customs and accompany you on the 2-hour private transfer to the capital city, Thimpu.


The next day, drive to Satsam Chorten and hike to Takstang  (Tiger’s Nest) Monastery, the cloud-shrouded site built around the cave in which Guru Rimpoche meditated. Legend has it that Guru Rimpoche flew to the site of the monastery from Tibet on the back of a tigress and meditated in the cave for 3 months. The monastery was re-built after a disastrous fire in April 1998 and can now only be viewed from afar, however the view will be well worth the 1.5-hour hike. After lunch, visit Kyichu Lhakhang, one of the oldest temples in Bhutan before settling in for a night in the hotel.

On the final day, enjoy an early breakfast before your guide escorts you to the airport for the return flight to Kathmandu.
