Transfer from Punakha to Bumthang
Most today’s sightseeing will be done during the 7-hour-long car ride to Bumthang. The mountain views are excellent. It is ok to ask your driver to stop for some photo opportunities, especially when you pass the Chendebji Chorten, built to drive away bad things. The chorten and its surrounding sceneries are very good scene for your camera.
Celebrate Drup Festival in Jambay Lhakhang
Like most festivals in Bhutan, the Drup Festival is also celebrated to drive bad things away and make good wishes. In 2022, the Drup Festival will be held from Nov.8 to 12. Around 8:00 pm, local people will go to the Jambay Lhakhang to dance together. Those dances are very interesting. Sometimes, the dancers show their happiness by dancing naked.
During daytime, you will visit the Tamshing Lhakhang, Kurjey Lhakhang and Jakar Dzong.
Continue Bumthang Drup Festival Celebration
Today, you can continue celebrating the Drup Festival in Jambay Lhakhang, or feel the atmosphere of the festival in other places of Bumthang, such as the Ugyen Choling Palace, where houses lots of belongings of ancient nobles in Bumthang. Besides the palace, Mebar Tsho Lake and Tang Rimochen Lhakhang respectively offer you the fascinating scenery and religious culture.
Meet Black-Necked Crane in Gangtey
Today, you will drive to Gangtey and take a stroll in the Phobjikha Valley, where you may meet the lovely black-necked cranes. During the stroll, you can also pay a visit to the Gangtey Monastery.
Transfer from Gangtey Valley to Paro

After you arrive in Paro, you will go to the Paro Dzong (Rinpung Dzong), where offers you beautiful river view.
Hike to Taktsang (Tiger Nest) Monastery
The Taktsang Monastery is a must-visit attraction for most tourists. Around 2.5 hours’ hiking are needed to reach Taktsang Monastery, the most famous religious relic in Bhutan. It is possible to take a rest at the view terrace, which is located on the half point of the hiking route.
