2 Nights 3 Days Bhutan Tour takes you on a brief journey into the land of the Thunder Dragon. Bhutan is a Buddhist country rich in tradition, culture, mythology, and art. This short tour in the small Himalayan country takes you to the capital city Thimphu and Paro. These cities have numerous monasteries, dzongs, and palaces.
This visit to Bhutan is a spiritual retreat from your regular life. Most of the people in Bhutan practice Vajrayana Buddhism. Bhutanese art and literature are directly influenced by its religion. It is a common thing to see monks and nuns dressed in robes - men in Gho and women in Kira. Prayer wheels and flags can be seen around all monasteries, dzongs, or religious sites.
Dzong architecture is very famous in Bhutan. These buildings are used as administrative offices today but they were built like fortresses. There are several monasteries, Gumbas, and Lakhangs. During this tour, you will visit several such architectures including Tashichho Dzong and Memorial Chorten. Another amazing place you will visit is the Buddha Dordenma. A huge statue of Budhha lies in the ruins of Kuensel Phodrang - a viewpoint to watch the city of Thimphu.
On the second day, a few hours of hiking or horseback riding on a narrow slope takes you to a sheer cliff where the Tiger’s Nest Monastery sits. This monastery is one of the most outstanding and picturesque places to visit in Bhutan. It is built in a cave where Guru Padmasambhava is believed to have meditated. There is also optional sightseeing in the city.
After returning from there, we can visit other places like Takin Sanctuary, Textile Museum, Heritage Museum, School of Crafts, and the National Museum. Strolling around the city also lets you connect with the people more closely.
