or over the foothills from Kolkatta, it is a fascinating journey,
culminating in an exciting descent past forested hills into the kingdom.

government. This bustling town is home to Bhutan’s Royal family, the civil
servants, and foreign missions with representation in Bhutan. It is also the
headquarters for a number of internationally funded development projects.
Morning visit to Trashichhodzong, the beautiful medieval fortress/monastery
which houses most of the Government's office and King's Throne room It is
also the summer residence of Je Khenpo, the Chief Abbot. Then, visit the
National Memorial Chorten. The building of this landmark was originally
envisaged by Bhutan’s third king, His Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuk (“the
father of modern Bhutan”) who has wished to erect monument to world peace
and prosperity. Completed in 1974 after his untimely death, it serves both
as a memorial to the Late King and as a monument to peace. Also visit the
Folk & Textile Heritage Museums, a fascinating testimony of Bhutan’s living
traditions.
Then, drive to Paro. The valley of Paro contains a wealth of attractions.
Visit Ta Dzong, once a watchtower, built to defend Rinpung Dzong during
inter-valley wars of the 17th century, Ta Dzong was inaugurated as Bhutan’s
National Museum in 1968. Afterwards, walk down a hillside trail to visit
Rinpung Dzong, which has a long and fascinating history.
