DAY 2

WALK TO ZURIG DZONG, RINPUNG DZONG, TA DZONG,

PARO TOWN, KYICHU LHAKHANG AND DRUKGYEL DZONG

Morning

Travel through pine forests situated high above COMO Uma Paro, arriving at the

picturesque grounds of the fortified monastery known as Zurig Dzong. Go to Ta Dzong, which houses Bhutan's National Museum and offers stunning views of Paro, and then descend to Rinpung Dzong, also known as the Fortress on a Heap of Jewels. The path then passes the main archery range, Ugyen Pelri Palace, and crosses the Paro Chhu river via the historic covered bridge Nyamai Zam before entering Paro town.

Afternoon

We travel a few kilometres north of Paro to Kyichu Lhakhang, one of the oldest temples in Bhutan, where we pay our respects and see its enchanted year-round orange tree. If

we have time, we continue up the valley to the Drukgyel Dzong, which Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal erected in 1648 to guard the northern entry to Tibet. Before you head back to our hotel, your guide can make arrangements to take you to a local monastery for a butter lamp ceremony, which serves as a spiritual blessing and a welcoming to the kingdom. In lieu of the traditional yak butter, you will see monks lighting ghee-filled lamps during this symbolic Buddhist ceremony. The purpose of the ritual is to eradicate ignorance and celebrate fluidity.

DAY 3

PARO VALLEY-TAKTSANG WALK

Morning

Today's activities centre on the historic Paro Valley and culminate with a visit to the Taktsang 'Tiger's Nest' Monastery, one of the most significant architectural structures in Bhutan. Legend has it that Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) brought Buddhism to Bhutan from Tibet by landing on the back of a flying tigress on this cliffside. The journey begins early to beat the heat on the two-hour ascent, which is a steep walk that passes a waterfall and ends among stunning murals at the monastery's main entrance. If time permits, it is possible to travel much higher to see isolated temples.

Afternoon 
You head back to COMO Uma Paro for your final night of rest and relaxation.

Here, you can take advantage of the steam rooms, gym, and swimming pool, or you can

treat yourself to one of the COMO Shambhala treatments. You can also pack a picnic or

eat at the quaint Taktsang café.
