For better part of last century, Bhutan remained in glorious isolation, denying to the outside world, the glimpses into its rich culture, tradition, religion and social-political structure thus adding to its deepening enigma from the capital, Thimphu, temperate valley – which house many attractions modern as well as historical. After visiting these attractions, we drive east and pause for substantial period at Dochula Pass. The pass that separate Thimphu and Paro valleys with Punakha. Savouring the astounding surroundings and peaks of eastern Himalayas. We move downhills and stops at sub-tropical agrarian Punakha/ Wangdue valley, the former winter capital of the Kingdom. Thereafter we retrace back and visit emerald -green temperate valley of Paro and at the end hike up to Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest) monastery -The cultural icon of the country.
