Itinerary

Day 1

• Rest, explore the town
  
  Day 2
  

• Holy places we may visit in Thimphu are numerous. The large Buddha statue, the central stupa, Thimphu Dzong, the astrology institute, and the old Thimphu Temple are a few of many places we may visit in the city proper. At the astrology temple you may learn about your past karma and purify negative actions. For an additional charge you may also have a divination which will tell you about past lives, what days are good or bad for you, your future, and more!
  
  Day 3
  

• Drive to Punakha (east Bhutan)
  
• Stop at Dochula Pass for sightseeing, visit the 108 Chortens (Stupas) & Monastery
  
• Continue to drive & Lunch at Chimilhakhang Café
  
• Visit Chimilhakhang  (Temple of Fertility), famous for its character Drukpa Kinley. Also known as the divine madman, his unconventional mannerisms founded this temple on the corpse of a demon. Many famous couples who could not bear children were able to do so after experiencing the energy of this temple. Truly a magical place.

• Spend night in hotel at Punakha
  
  Day 4

An extra special treat may be a visit to the oldest undisturbed Tibetan Buddhist temple in the world. For 1,400 years this temple has stayed active and intact through the power of its builders and residents. Many natives of Bhutan cross the country simply to walk around the wall, but if we are fortunate we may even get to go inside! This is generally not available to other tour groups or if so then only for a minute or two. In any case you will certainly experience the finer, harder to come by, and more profound wonders Bumthang has to offer.
  
• Spend night at same hotel during the entire stay.

• Spend night at hotel in Gante
  
  Day 9
  

• Return Drive to Thimphu
  
• Opportunity to see any holy sites we didn’t have time for. We may also consider visiting the natural medicine institute to see traditional Bhutanese healing. The art is based on a combination of plants, energy, and your previous Karma. Very interesting indeed
  
• We may also shop at the Thimphu Market. Our guides will bring us to places where we can buy authentic ceremonial Buddhist relics and supplies. If on a weekend the general market is a must see! All of the country’s finest fresh foods will end up here and is truly a spectacle to experience.
  
  Day 10
  

• This will be our final day in Thimphu. Our last visit may be to the small Guru Rinpoche retreat center. This is a temple built on a cave where an ancient statue of Guru Rinpoche was found. This is also where our resident Rinpoche went for his retreat. On the way we can visit a traditional elementary school, where the children can surprise you with their clear English. We will also make arrangements to have a traditional dinner in an 800 year old farm house. That evening we will return to Paro
  
  Day 11
  

• Visit a very holy temple outside of Paro. Similar to the Tiger’s nest, it is nestled in an abrupt cliff but on the opposite side of Paro valley. If you stick around for the festival, this temple originated some of the dances you will see there.
  
• If possible, we may view Tankgha painting, other crafts, or simply kick back with a hot stone bath and explore the town!
