Start the day with yoga before embarking on a Paro Cultural Tour. This begins at the National Museum housed within the imposing Rinpung Dzong – the ‘Fortress of the heap of jewels’ – followed by a visit to the 15th-century Jangtsa Dumtseg Lhakhang, a stupa-shaped temple renowned for its paintings showing Tantric Buddhist philosophy.
Lunch can be enjoyed in a pine forest overlooking the historic Drukgyel Dzong before a visit to Kyichu Lhakang, one of Bhutan’s oldest temples. Back at the lodge, try archery or learn the art of prayer flag printing, then join a fascinating talk on Gross National Happiness.
