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!!!

Rinpung Dzong

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.
