Elevation: 2334m |Drive Time ~1.5 hour
Welcome to Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon. Touching down at Paro International Airport, you will be greeted by your guide upon exiting the arrival hall. Today, we will take it easy to acclimatise to the altitude. Drive to Thimphu, check in to the hotel and let's have your first taste of Bhutanese cuisine.

Around Thimphu Town [1 hour] - Strolling around Thimphu town offers a delightful blend of tradition and modern life in Bhutan’s capital. Start at Clock Tower Square, the lively heart of the city adorned with carved wooden façades, prayer wheels, and water fountains —and a charming spot to linger while locals chat or browse the weekend market. From here, wander down Norzin Lam, Thimphu’s main street, where boutique shops, handicraft stores, and cafés invite you in. Along the way, admire traditional architecture—ornate wood carvings, colourful murals, and fluttering prayer flags—woven seamlessly into everyday life.

View of Tashichho Dzong [1 hour]. As dusk falls, Tashichho Dzong transforms into a shimmering jewel in the heart of Thimphu. Floodlit in warm amber and red tones, its towering white walls and golden roofs glow against the deepening night sky, creating an almost magical silhouette. The courtyard falls silent after evening prayers, and you're left alone to appreciate the sheer scale and serenity of Bhutan's political and spiritual centre. Many visitors linger past the flag-lowering ceremony just to soak in the twilight atmosphere when the lights first bathe the dzong, making for a photographer’s dream and a heartfelt moment of calm.
