Today's itinerary is quite busy. Initially, we will explore the ruined fortress of Drukgyel Dzong, which is a combination of a fortress and a Buddhist monastery situated in the upper region of Paro District in Bhutan. According to beliefs, Tenzin Drukdra built this Dzong in 1649 to commemorate his victory over the invading Tibetans. Later, we will embark on a hike to Taktsang Monastery, which takes about 45 minutes and is a steep trek that traverses through villages and a pine forest. The monastery is situated on the edge of a massive granite cliff, 800 meters away from the Paro valley. In the afternoon, we will proceed through the beautiful valley to reach the museum, situated inside the Ta-Dzong building. King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck established the museum in 1968, and it has seven floors, displaying various aspects of Bhutanese culture and history that date back to the 7th century. From there, we can take a short walk downhill to reach the Rinpung Dzong, which serves as the administrative center and school for monks. Later in the afternoon, we will drive for around two hours and cover 65 kilometers to reach the capital city of Thimphu, where we will spend the night in a 3-star hotel.
