April 14th, Monday: Today, you are going to Bhutan’s capital, Thimpu! The drive will have you peeking at a gorgeous countryside, gazing at the stunning blue green water with your new friends and sighing merrily as we take in our surroundings. Rich Buddhist culture and a teeming stretch of green valleys and prayer flags will greet you at Thimpu. O/N Thimpu
April 15th, Tuesday: Let’s walk into a historical era at the Golden Buddha Point – one of the largest in the world! The 169 ft. tall structure is home to over 100,000 smaller Buddha statues within it. Let’s pay a visit to the post office where you can even get customized stamps!

Tashichhodzong will have you taste royalty as we see the country’s main secretariat. New friends, the calm of the Buddhist town and sceneries everywhere you look, your holiday shall be unforgettable! O/N Thimpu
April 16th, Wednesday: Today, we’ll all sing, “kya ada, kya jalwe tere Paro!”. Hehe bad jokes aside, we ain’t kidding about the singing because we’re going to have you drive over to the oh so pretty town of Paro. We’ll see the confluence point of two rivers, Wang Chhu and Paro Chhu, witness their waves melt into one another. Ready to dress in a country’s colours? Let’s have a photoshoot in authentic Bhutanese traditional dresses. Check out the vibrant market in the evening to get some souvenirs for back home. Let’s go! O/N Paro
April 17th, Thursday: Some days of our lives remain etched in our minds forever, this day will be just as special! Choose between visiting Tiger’s Nest (trek up or take a horse). Perched on the edge of a cliff, this monastery was built back in 1692 where Guru Rinpoche is believed to have flown on top of a tigress. Or option 2, visit Kyushu Lhakhang monastery (offbeat, MM&Co. special) – the second oldest temple in all of Bhutan! Meditate inside the temple and sink into an aura of serenity here. Afterwards, a doze of peace awaits, a relaxing Bhutanese hot stone bath. Savour it. O/N Paro
April 18th, Friday: After sinking into the riot of colours and culture that the beautiful country of Bhutan is, we shall drive back to Phuentsholing. The last day tugs at all of our hearts because we aren’t ready to leave just yet. Let’s relish our last night together! O/N Phuentsholing
