Classic Bhutan tour package covers some of the most admired and popular cultural, historical, religious, and traditional sites. When based on this, the Taktsang Palphung Monastery becomes the top priority. Besides, you will be touring the country across hills and passes amid the spectacular landscapes. However, it will be particularly focused on exploring the classic aspects of the country, and hence comes the Paro Dzong, the humungous buttressed walls overlooking the valley. It is a must-visit for its architectural excellence. The aforementioned Paro Taktsang, also popular as the Tiger’s Nest, is a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred site. It is located on a precarious precipice at 3,120 meters and about 900 meters above the valley. This tiny Himalayan Kingdom, surrounded by India and Tibet, China has several classic dzongs (forts) and Lhakhang (temples). Dumtse Lhakhang, Rinpung Dzong, Dungtse Lhakhang, and Kichu Lhakhang are some in Paro that you will be visiting.
Dzong is a distinctive type of fortress. The architecture is stupendous in style with towering exterior walls surrounding a complex of courtyards, temples, administrative offices, and monks’ accommodation. Undoubtedly it will be quite overwhelming and awe-inspiring to get close to it. These forts have many unique features.
Lhakhang is a Buddhist Monastery, and it too has a distinctive feature in terms of architecture and operation. Bumthang, considered the religious heartland of the country and home to some of the oldest monasteries, has some magnificent Lhakhangs like Jambey Lhakhang and Tamshing Lhakhang.
Thimpu, the capital city, has much more to offer to you besides Dzongs and Lhakhang. Zilukha Nunnery and the National Memorial Chorten are also worth your visit. The city has several historical and religious sites. Moreover, you wouldn’t want to miss the Tashichho Dzong during the Bhutan tour package. It is a Buddhist Monastery and fortress on the northern edge of Thimpu. The two-storied building with three-storied towers at each of the four corners topped by triple-tiered golden roofs is an aesthetic sight to behold. It is a pure marvel. It is pure awe.
