Day 2

Thimphu - Paro

After breakfast, proceed for the guided tour of city‟s main attractions that includes:

Simply Bhutan Museum: The newly commissioned museum depicts the ancient Bhutanese architecture

which is being lost to modernization. The best part is the portrayal of the age-old lifestyles of the

Bhutanese people.

Motithang Takin Preserve is a protected area where the national animal of Bhutan, Takin, is

preserved. A half an hour walk here would unveil many exotic birds and animals to you, who wander

around the area freely and in the most natural of habitat. Overflowing with serenity, the wildlife here is

exquisite and should be seen once.

illustrating Buddhist lore such as four friends, the old man of long life, the wheel of life, scenes from the

life of Milarepa, Mount. Sumeru and another cosmic Mandala.

hence it is called „Tiger‟s Nest‟. This site has been recognized as a most sacred place and visited by
