trip Overview
On the Wangdue Phodrang Sightseeing Tour, we reach the sightseeing place after leaving the capital city and proceed on a further drive for about 6/7 hours. As the nation receives a lot of rainfall in summer, thick forests cover the mountain slopes and the rivers and streams rush through deep gorges in tumultuous currents. The most important thing about hilltops in Bhutan is it fills with magnificent forts. Locally known as Dzongs in Bhutan, served as protection against enemies in the past. But it serves as a monk monastery. The Wangdue Phodrang Dzong is such a place that defines the landscape of Bhutan. It was constructed in 1638. It is one of the oldest sects in Bhutan. It consists of ancient books and antiques. Visit the Dzong, take in its magnificent architecture, muse on its strategic significance; and also get the full joy of the panorama that the hilltop offers.
Explore the dzong as well as nearby beautiful areas. Join Outdoor Himalayan Treks for an amazing Wangdue Phodrang Sightseeing Tour.

Itinerary
As you arrive at the Tribhuvan International Airport, our office staff will meet you there and transfer you to your hotel. Then get refreshed, enjoy lunch and go on a sightseeing tour to Kathmandu Durbar Square, a UNESCO world heritage site in Kathmandu that showcases magnificent art and architecture of medieval Nepal.
These are other World Heritage Sites of Kathmandu Valley (1330m) displaying magnificent carvings, statues, and other historical monuments dating back to centuries. Among them, the first two fall among the holiest sites for Buddhists and the third one is one of the most sacred pilgrimages for the Hindus.
It’s a very scenic mountain flight offering views of the great section of Himalayan range from Nepal to Bhutan including that of Everest, and Kanchenjunga. At the airport, a representative of our counterpart in Bhutan will meet you and transfer you to the hotel.
Today go on a sightseeing tour of Ta-Dzong museum, the national museum of Bhutan and Taktsang Monastery, a magnificent structure standing on a spectacular hilltop. This monastery is built in honor of the famous Bodhisatwa Padmashambha who visited Bhutan in the 8th century A. D. Then drive to Thimphu and spend your night at Thimphu.
Thimphu (2350m) is the capital city of Bhutan and it has a number of attractions for all the visitors. There are ancient monasteries, nunneries, a famous art school of the nation, and the hospital where traditional indigenous healing is practiced. In the afternoon, drive to Wangdue Phodrang and stay for the night at this place.
The center of attraction in this town is an ancient fort built atop a hill in 1638. This fort, built at the confluence of two rivers, was originally meant to protect the invasions from the southern direction.
You will return to Kathmandu on a flight from Paro. Our office staff will pick you up at the airport and transfer you to your hotel. Use the rest of the day for the relaxation.
Bhaktapur is the city in Kathmandu which has still remained largely immune from modern influences. If you visit there, you will see the centuries-old lifestyle of locals, their vocations and of course, a lot of temples and ancient palaces.
You will say goodbye to you, expecting that you will return to Nepal for your next vacation as well.
