Paro Taktsang

Reviewed By chin570909 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This is really the best place to visit in Bhutan! But you must be fit to hike to the temple, we took 1hr to reach mid height cafe , another 1 hour to reach viewing point, then another 30mins to climb 800steps (down and upstairs) to reach the temple!!! Amazing view and beautiful landscapes and wonderful temple sit at the side of the cliff 900m above paro valley!!!

Reviewed By navjotd2019 - New Delhi, India

Rinpung Dzong, popularly know as, Paro Dzong is situated in the Paro Valley. This Dzong is a monastery and also houses the administrative offices of the valley. The entry will require you to be with a guide and you need to pay ₹500 for the visit and guide's fee. The monastery is beautiful and you will learn a lot about Buddhism. Once you have been inside, the guide will allow you to take a stroll outside the monastery and photography is allowed only outside the Dzong. There is a vast balcony that outlooks the Paro Valley and the international airport. If you are carrying luggage, the guide will allow you to leave it outside the monastery.

Chele La Pass

Reviewed By 12travelenthusiast - Jamshedpur, India

The Chele La Pass, situated at an altitude of 3988 metres (13083 feet) above MSL and at a distance of about 36 kms from Paro Town on the Paro-Haa highway is a must visit place in Bhutan for all tourists, who can withstand the bitter cold and the breathlessness at high altitude. This pass is the highest motorable road in Bhutan separating two valleys Paro and Haa. The journey through the road, covered with snow was very exciting and memorable with fantastic views on either side. As the sky was clear during our visit, we could see the most sacred mountain peak of Bhutan, Jumolhari , having an altitude of about 22000 feet above MSL. We did not see any human habitation in that area. Only a mobile Fast food/Tea/Coffee/Snacks vehicle was seen stationed there to cater to the needs of the visiting tourists.
