Bhutan Tour for Meng Chuan

Kyichu Lhakhang

At 1300 years old, Kyichu Lhakhang is one of Bhutan’s oldest and most sacred temples, believed to have been built in the 7th century by Tibetan Emperor Songtsen Gampo as part of a spiritual mission to subdue a demoness and spread Buddhism. Located just north of Paro, it is often referred to as the “Sacred Jewel of Bhutan.” Over the centuries, the temple has been expanded and visited by many great masters, including Padmasambhava. It's a peaceful and deeply spiritual place, cherished by pilgrims and visitors alike.

Jangtsa Dumtseg Lhakhang

Jangtsa Dumtseg Lhakhang is one of Bhutan’s most unique and spiritually rich temples, located just outside Paro town. Built in the early 15th century by the great Tibetan master Thangtong Gyalpo, this chorten-shaped temple is said to subdue a powerful demon and symbolizes the victory of Buddhism over negative forces. Unlike other temples, Dumtseg Lhakhang is structured in the form of a mandala, with three levels representing the realms of hell, earth, and heaven. Inside, you'll find a remarkable collection of ancient murals and statues—each layer guiding visitors deeper into the symbolic journey of enlightenment. Quiet, mysterious, and deeply sacred, it’s a hidden gem for those seeking a more profound spiritual experience.

Paro Dzong (aka Rinpung Dzong)

Paro Dzong—also known as Rinpung Dzong, or the “Fortress of a Heap of Jewels”—is a spectacular hilltop monastery-fortress overlooking the Paro River and valley. Built in 1646 on an earlier temple site, it remains one of the finest examples of Bhutanese architecture, with soaring wooden beams, an iconic cantilever bridge and numerous shrines and chapels inside. It has served both as a defensive stronghold against Tibetan invasions and as the administrative and monastic centre for Paro district. Today it’s still home to around 200 monks, hosts the colourful Paro Tsechu festival, and offers visitors a serene yet awe-inspiring glimpse into Bhutan’s spiritual and cultural heritage.

Chumphu Monastery Hike

After an early breakfast we set for an days hike to the Floating statue Temple in Paro where not many tourist would go as this site is promoted by few travel agent the hike to Chumphu Nye starts from the upper Dop Shari Valley after a drive for about half an hour on the dirt road from Paro till its end. Then keep walking along the river till you get to a place where there is a small chorten (stupa). Take a look form there, you see Chumphu Nye above you atop a hill on your left. This walk would be an easy one as the path way is through the river side which has an mixture of gentle up hill and downhill but at the very end after reaching the small temple when we can finally see the temple we have to make an steep climb up for 45 Mins to reach and see the amazing floating statue of Dorji Pham. After visiting the temple we would start our hike back through the same road and would stop for a picnic lunch near the river, after lunch we carry on with our hike until the starting point.

Bumdra Trek

The Bumdra Trek is a scenic two-day adventure in Paro Valley, perfect for those seeking a high-altitude experience without the demands of a long expedition. Starting from Sang Choekor Buddhist College at around 2,800 metres, the trail winds through pine and rhododendron forests before reaching the serene Bumdra Monastery, nestled in alpine meadows at approximately 3,800 metres. Meaning “Cave of a Hundred Thousand Prayers,” the site offers stunning Himalayan views, especially on clear days. On the second day, the trek descends along dramatic ridgelines to the famed Tiger’s Nest Monastery, providing a unique and peaceful approach from above. The route covers around 20–23 km and is considered mild to moderate, with overnight luxury camping and spectacular sunrise vistas making it a truly memorable journey.

Bumdra Trek Day 2

After a hearty breakfast amidst the jaw-dropping landscape, it’s time to either descend straight back into the valley—or linger a little longer, soaking up the sweeping views and perhaps hanging a few prayer flags of our own in the crisp mountain breeze. Eventually, we begin our descent through the ancient pine and rhododendron forest, following the monks’ zigzagging trail. After about 1–2 hours of downhill trekking, glimpses of golden temple roofs begin to appear through the trees. Soon, we arrive at the first of many sacred sites on our return journey from the highlands. The path weaves along the mountainside, linking monasteries and temples, until it opens to the serene gardens of Sangtopelri—Heaven on Earth. From here, you can bravely peer over the edge and spot the ornate roofs of Taktsang Monastery perched dramatically on the cliff far below. Roughly an hour later, we arrive at the gates of Taktsang. From here, a steep descent into a gorge brings us to a cascading waterfall, followed by a final climb up stone steps—ushering us into the legendary Tiger’s Nest itself. After exploring this sacred site, we retrace our steps and begin the final 45-minute descent, eventually meeting our vehicle for the drive back to your hotel. Before leaving, we pause on the opposite side of the valley for one last look—taking in the awe-inspiring view and reflecting on the journey you’ve just completed. Taktsang Monastery, also known as Tiger’s Nest, is one of the most revered Himalayan Buddhist sites. Legend holds that Guru Rinpoche flew to this very spot from Tibet on the back of a tigress—his consort, Yeshey Tshogyal—and meditated in a cave now enshrined within the monastery. It is believed that he emerged in eight different manifestations, sanctifying the site as a place of great spiritual power. Duration: 5–7 hours, depending on time spent at the monasteries Difficulty: Moderate Includes: Guided trek with mineral water provided
