YOUR DAY-BY-DAY ROUTE

Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1: Arrive In Paro and Drive to Thimphu [52 km/ approx. 1 hour drive] — Your journey in Bhutan begins with your arrival at Paro International Airport, where you'll be warmly received by our representative. From there, you'll embark on a picturesque drive to Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to visit Simtokha Dzong, officially known as the 'Sangkak Zabdhon Phodrang' or the Palace of the Profound Meaning of Secret Mantras. This historic dzong, built in 1629 by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, is often celebrated as the first dzong ever constructed in Bhutan. Situated 5 kilometers south of Thimphu on the road leading to Paro and Phuentsholing, Simtokha Dzong serves as a gateway to the Thimphu Valley. The name "Simtokha" is derived from "sin" (demoness) and "do" (stone), and it is believed that this site was chosen to guard against a demon that had taken refuge within the nearby rock. Notably, Simtokha Dzong was the first structure in Bhutan to integrate both monastic and administrative facilities. Since 1961, it has been home to the Rigney School for Dzongkha and monastic studies, welcoming students who are both monks and ordinary individuals. The dzong is renowned for its antique murals, which hold great historical and artistic value, and its frescoes and images are considered among the finest in the country.+
