Project Description
VISIT TO TIGERS NEST
VISIT TO TIGERS NEST
This is a fairly easy three-day trek that takes you through beautiful valleys and along clear, trout-filled rivers. Bumthang is often known as the ‘cultural heartland’ of Bhutan and there are plenty of ancient temples to visit during the hike.
In addition to the numerous lhakhangs there are also a number of small villages where you can stop and rest. The only segment of the trek that may prove challenging is a 500m ascent to Pephe La pass. The best time to embark on this trek is in spring or autumn.
Day 1: Arrive in Paro and transfer to Thimphu
Day 2: Visit places in Thimphu (standard description for visit to places in Thimphu applies_ only few places) and drive to Punakha in the evening (en route visit Dochula)
Daty 3: Visit places of interest in Puanakha and Wangduephodran in the morning and drive to Paro in the evening
Day 4: Hike to Tigers’ Nest in the morning. In the evening visit Paro town or Museum, or Ta Dzong
Day 5: Exit the country
