Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival day

Day 2: Explore Thimphu

Day 3: Rafting on Mo Chhu
This morning we visit Punakha Dzong, a massive fortress built at the junction of two rivers. It was the capital of Bhutan until 1955, and still serves as the winter residence of the local monks. In the afternoon we go rafting on the Mo Chhu River, following a 10 km course comprising around 10 rapids. The views are sensational!

Day 4: Bike to Paro
We transfer back to Thimphu and take a great bike ride to Paro. The ride takes about three hours one way over smooth, paved roads, with slight undulations here and there. We cycle through lush paddy fields, virgin forests and sleepy traditional houses and villages. Later you can visit the resort's spa facility if the ride took a toll!

Day 5: Hike to Tiger's Nest
After breakfast we hike uphill for two hours to reach the famous Tiger's Nest monastery perched 800 m above the valley floor! After lunch we visit the seventh-century temple of Kyichu Lhakhang. We also visit a traditional working farmhouse and are served a delicious home-cooked meal. In the evening there's the chance to join in a Bhutanese Cultural Programme, which includes donning a traditional outfit!
