Punakha was the capital of Bhutan for over 300 years until 1955 and boasts arguably its most impressive Dzong (fortress). Upon arrival at the car park, walk across the traditional footbridge that spans the river and into Punakha Dzong. The Dzong is beautifully located between two popular rivers, Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu (the male and female rivers). Explore and experience the architectural grandeur of the “fortress of great happiness”. Bhutan’s kings are crowned here, and the central monk body resides here during winter, so it remains a place of high importance to the country. Your lunch today will be nearby Dzong.

The view from the observation point of the temple is awe-inspiring as it provides a panoramic view of the towering mountains in the northern frontiers and the alluvial Punakha Valley to the south. After the hike, you will drive towards Paro, crossing the Dochula pass again.

Upon your arrival in Paro, you will drive to a Farmhouse to see how people live on their subsistence farm in the village.
