Thimphu – Punakha Sightseeing – Return to Thimphu

2-3hrs • 85 KM • 7,657 ft

Activities

After an early breakfast, begin a scenic drive towards Wangduephodrang, a journey that captures Bhutan’s essence in both natural beauty and cultural richness. The road winds through forests, villages, and valleys, each turn revealing a fresh perspective of the Himalayan landscape.
Morning Highlights
Your first stop is the iconic Dochu La Pass (3,100 m). Here, 108 whitewashed chortens, known as the Druk Wangyal Chortens, stand in perfect harmony against the backdrop of the Himalayas. On a clear day, the snow-capped peaks of Bhutan’s eastern range rise majestically, offering a breathtaking panorama. The crisp mountain air, fluttering prayer flags, and serene silence create a truly spiritual moment to pause, reflect, and connect with the land.
Continue your journey to the picturesque Mehsina Village, a quiet settlement that reflects the simplicity of rural life. From here, take a pleasant walk across terraced fields and traditional farmhouses to reach Chimi Lhakhang, the famous “Temple of Fertility.” Built in the 15th century by the eccentric saint Lama Drukpa Kinley—known as the “Divine Madman”—this temple is both revered and beloved for its unconventional yet profound spiritual teachings. Couples and pilgrims from across Bhutan and beyond visit the temple seeking blessings of happiness, fertility, and prosperity, making it a unique cultural and spiritual experience.
Afternoon Exploration
Arriving in Punakha, you are welcomed by the warm climate of the valley and the sight of rice fields and rivers flowing through fertile plains. The highlight of your visit is the magnificent Punakha Dzong, one of Bhutan’s grandest and most historically significant fortresses. Built in 1637, the dzong stands proudly at the confluence of the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers, its towering whitewashed walls, golden spires, and ornate wooden carvings reflecting centuries of architectural mastery. Inside, vast courtyards, intricate murals, and sacred relics narrate Bhutan’s spiritual and political history. Once the seat of Bhutan’s rulers and still home to an active monastic community, Punakha Dzong represents the very heart of Bhutanese culture and tradition.
Return to Thimphu
As the afternoon draws to a close, begin your return drive to Thimphu. The winding mountain roads take you through lush forests, charming hamlets, and deep valleys that glow under the soft hues of the setting sun. Each bend offers vistas that feel new yet familiar, reminding you of the timeless beauty of Bhutan’s landscapes.
By evening, you arrive back in Thimphu, where your hotel welcomes you with warmth and comfort. After a fulfilling day of exploration, enjoy a hearty dinner and spend the night in serene surroundings. The day’s experiences—from the high mountain pass to the sacred fertility temple and the grandeur of Punakha Dzong—leave you with lasting impressions of Bhutan’s spiritual and cultural wealth.

After breakfast, check out from your hotel and prepare for a half-day exploration of Paro, a town steeped in history and culture, before beginning your journey back to Phuentsholing. This morning promises a perfect blend of heritage, spirituality, and scenic beauty.
Your sightseeing begins at Rinpung Dzong, a striking fortress-monastery famed for its grand courtyards, intricate woodwork, and classic Bhutanese architecture. As you wander through its serene halls, admire the ornate details that reflect centuries of devotion and craftsmanship.

The vibrant colors, friendly exchanges with artisans, and bustling atmosphere provide an authentic taste of Bhutanese daily life.
Before concluding your Paro visit, stop at the Airport Viewpoint, where the dramatic runway carved into the mountains offers breathtaking views of the valley and surrounding peaks—a fitting finale to your exploration.
Finally, embark on the scenic drive back to Phuentsholing, descending through rolling valleys and gentle foothills. Upon arrival, check in at your hotel, enjoy a warm dinner, and rest for the night.
