ITINERARY
Upon arrival you will be greeted by our representative and transferred to your hotel.
Rimpung Dzong
The Paro Dzong is probably Bhutan’s best known and most iconic Dzong. This is probably the first building you will notice when you land at Paro International Airport and will probably be your first memory of Bhutan. The imposing Dzong is perhaps the finest example of Dzong architecture existing the world today, the massive buttered walls of the fortress dominate over the valley. The Rinpung Dzong’s names translates to the “Fortress on a heap of Jewels “.
Ta Dzong (National Museum)
The National Museum of Bhutan is housed inside the six storied circular Ta Dzong. The Ta Dzong is a medieval watch tower situated above the Rimpung Dzong. The Ta Dzong was constructed in 1656 with a purpose to give advance warning to the Paro Dzong in case of an approaching army, in fact the word Ta means ‘to see’ in Dzongkha. The future first king was imprisoned here for a brief period in 1872. In 1968 the Ta Dzong was converted into the National Museum of Bhutan. The Museum houses a priceless collection of textile, costumes, paintings, appliqué, wooden handicrafts, weapons, armor and jewelry. There is a small section dedicated to the natural history of Bhutan. There is a small chapel on the top of the building with icons representing Himalayan Buddhist traditions.

Anup made organising this trip really easy. Quick and efficient replies to emails and he came in person to deliver the papaerwork, visa and sort out the payment. Excellent service which added to the overall tour. Bhutan itself was an amazing experience and thoroughly recommend, the guides were great ambassadors for their country and i had a short but excellent time.

My wife and I recently used Himalayan Windows to coordinate a short trip to Bhutan. Anup was kind, prompt and professional throughout the process. He arranged a 3-day, 2-night trip that packed in the best of Bhutan for the time that we had. We enjoyed the flight over Mount Everest, the incredible dzongs, and the trek up to the Tiger’s Nest monastery. The price was very reasonable, considering the package included a driver and a guide who took us everywhere. Himalayan Windows made sure that our travel visas and airline tickets were ready when we arrived.
Anup also coordinated a hike for us from Nagarkot to Dhulikel in Nepal. Once again, the price was reasonable and the experience was incredible. Our guide and driver were knowledgeable, courteous and accommodating.
We plan to return to Nepal soon, and will once again rely on Anup and Himalayan Windows to provide a great time at a great price.
