DAY 1 -- ARRIVE PARO. DRIVE TO THIMPHU:

Welcome to Paro. The last 15 minutes or so is amazing with snow covered peaks jutting majestically out
of the clouds and then mountains either side as Druk Air zooms down the valley getting lower and lower
and closer to the airport. On the view are settlements on the ground, the bare paddy fields, the
meandering tracks, the river and streams, the trees and finally the town of Paro and the International
Airport.

 Located at an elevation of approximately 2200 meter above sea level, this airport sometimes is called as
“straight out of the fairy tales”.

Drive to Thimphu, the capital town of Bhutan. During this drive, you will pass through idyllic countryside
giving some idea about what you might come across on your journey in the next 5 days. Thimphu
(2,280m) is a small, bustling city in the heart of the Himalaya. Thimphu’s charm comes not only from its
wealth of museums or places of historic interest, but also from the strong national character of its
architectural style. Arrive Thimphu and then transfer to your hotel.
Afternoon Leisure walk in the City. Early evening visit the memorial Chorten. This large impressive
monument with its golden spire was built in 1974 to honor the memory of the third King, His Majesty
Jigme Dorji Wangchuck (1928 – 1972).
Built by his mother Her Majesty the late Queen Ashi Phuntsho Choden Wangchuck, the whitewashed
chorten is decorated with richly carved annexes facing the four directions, and features elaborate
mandalas, statues and a shrine dedicated to the popular third king. There are numerous religious
paintings and complex tantric statues housed inside reflecting both peaceful and wrathful aspects of
Buddhist deities. Throughout the day people circumambulate the chorten, whirl the large red prayer
wheels and pray in the adjacent shrine. The early morning and evenings is particularly tranquil as elderly
people shuffle in and spruced-up school kids whiz in and out to pay homage.
