The National Memorial Chorten - Also known simply as Thimphu Chorten, this site serves as a gathering place for evening prayers. Built in memory of the third King, it is continuously circled by people murmuring mantras and spinning their prayer wheels. The idea for this landmark was proposed by His Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuk, the third King of Bhutan, who envisioned a monument symbolizing peace and prosperity for the world. Completed in 1974 after the King's untimely death, it stands as both a memorial to the late King and a beacon of peace.

The Clock Tower - Situated in the heart of Thimphu Town, the Clock Tower Square is an architectural marvel you won’t want to miss during your Bhutan B2B Packages from India.

Punakha Dzong : Also known as "The Palace of Great Happiness," Punakha Dzong is beautifully located at the confluence of the Pho Chhu (father) and Mo Chhu (mother) rivers in the Punakha–Wangdue valley. This Dzong is considered the most picturesque of all Bhutan's ancient fortresses and is connected to the mainland by an arched wooden bridge. It houses many precious relics from the time when the successive kings ruled the kingdom from this tranquil valley.

Suspension Bridge : This hidden gem in the Punakha Valley connects the rest of the valley to the old administrative center of Punakha Dzongkhag. The entire deck is adorned with colorful prayer flags, making it a perfect spot for birdwatching and photography.

He is famous for using songs, humor, and outrageous behavior to convey his teachings. This temple is believed to bring fertility, and many childless couples visit with the hope of being blessed by Lama Drukpa Kuenley if they pray for a child.

Drukgyal Dzong: Once a fortress and Buddhist monastery, Drukgyal Dzong is now in ruins, located in the upper part of Paro Valley in Bhutan. The Dzong was likely constructed by Tenzin Drukdra in 1649 at the request of Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal to commemorate a victory over an invasion from Tibet. Please note that it is currently closed to the public.

Ta Dzong: Initially built as a watchtower to protect Rinpung Dzong during the inter-valley wars of the 17th century, Ta Dzong was inaugurated as Bhutan's National Museum in 1968.

The approach to the Dzong is via a traditional covered bridge known as Nemi Zam.

Nya Mey Zam Bridge: Known as "The Bridge with No Fish," this bridge connects Paro Town to the Dzong. It is one of the finest specimens of Bhutanese architecture, with a local belief that seeing a fish in the river is an ill omen. The previous bridge, which could be folded during wartime, was washed away by floods in 1969.

Paro Airport View Point: This is one of the best vantage points to enjoy breathtaking views of Paro Valley and Paro Airport. Overlooking the Paro River, it also offers scenic vistas of the Dzongs and monasteries in the area. Overnight at a hotel in Paro.

As the sun rays illuminate the stunning Paro valley, awaken amidst the beauty of Mother Nature and savor the breathtaking views of the river and mountains all in one frame.

Once you reach the summit, take a deep breath of the fresh air and feast your eyes on the spectacular views of the surrounding landscape and the valley below.
