At just 1250 meters (4,100ft) elevation, the climate of the lush Punakha Valley often feels hot and sultry in comparison to that of Thimphu, which sits at almost twice the altitude

In its 1287 square kilometers (497 square miles) are contained some of Bhutan’s oldest fortresses, the precious artifacts of the National Museum, and cliff clinging religious centers that many foreigners are iconic of Bhutan.
    Stay overnight in Paro

  7. Day 7 Paro (Hike Tiger’s Nest)

    From a distance, Bhutan’s most iconic building seems to float, weightless, halfway up a sheer cliff-face, 900 meters (3,000 feet) above the floor of the Paro Valley. As you wind your way breathlessly up the long, steep path towards Taktsang Lhakhang, the monastery periodically reveals itself, rising out of the forest, closer and more solid with each reappearance. It is believed that the first person to recognize the holiness of this inaccessible spot, Guru Rinpoche, arrived here with considerably greater ease — on the back of a flying tigress. After defeating a troublesome local demon in the eighth century, Guru Rinpoche, who is also known as Padmasambhava, spent months here in meditation. The lhakhang — its name meaning ”Tiger’s Nest” — has been a place of pilgrimage ever since.
