Discover the Cheir Goemba monastery and the 16th century Pangri Zampa, before learning more about Thimphu’s cottage industries, from traditional paper making to hand rolled incense. Visit the Trashi Chhoe Dzong, the seat of Bhutan’s government, enjoying stunning sunset views as you stroll past a takin sanctuary, a unique cattle species. According to local legend, the takins are believed to be part cow and part goat.

Try your hand at archery, the national sport of Bhutan, before the option of signing up to a cookery class to make traditional dumplings - please note that an additional charge applies. Another popular dining choice here is a private riverside barbecue, where fresh and simply delicious Bhutanese cuisine is served, backed by glorious views of pine trees, rice fields and mountain peaks.
