Lunch features authentic local dishes like Ema Datshi. In the evening, indulge in a therapeutic, traditional Hot Stone Bath to aid acclimatization and soothe muscles before the rigorous hikes. Overnight: Thimphu.

Day 2: Tango Monastery Immersion

Drive north for a challenging 1.5-2 hour uphill hike to the revered Tango Monastery.

Day 4: Paro & Tiger's Nest Climax

Enjoy an early breakfast before driving back to Paro. Proceed directly to the trailhead for the most anticipated experience: the pilgrimage hike to Paro Taktsang (Tiger's Nest) Monastery.
