During the sightseeing in Paro, you will visit Ta Dzong, which was a watchtower, built to defend Rinpung Dzong during the inter-valley war of the 17th century. Later, during 1968, it was turned into a Bhutan's National Museum. Then, visit Paro Rinpong Dzong, which was built in 1646 by Bhutan’s first spiritual and temporal ruler, Sahbrung Ngawang Namgyal. The Dzong is the seat of district administration, district court and the monastic body.

The second day in Bhutan, we wake up in the morning, and will have breakfast and get ready to start Trek, we will be driven to the starting point of the Bumdra Trek, Sangchen Choekhor, is a monastery where monks receive Buddhist philosophy and teachings from the country’s preeminent teachers, and from here we can see a stunning view of the city of Paro and the surrounding terrain. We will pass through steep sections, dense forests of Himalayan blue pine, oak and rhododendron, and Chochong Tse, is a 17th century temple and meditation cave. Leaving Chochong Tse, we will walk along the ridge, from where you will get a panoramic view of mountain peak, surrounding valley and hills. As we ascend to altitudes above treeline, we’ll notice that the vegetation becomes increasingly sparse. By the end of the day, with elevation gain of almost 1,000 m to 3,280 m, we will reach Bumdra Camp site. At Bumdra Camp site, you will spend your night, getting rest and recovering from the tiredness and fatigue caused by an arduous climb of the city.

This is a sacred place where departed children under the age of nine are buried. It takes about 3 to 4 hours to reach. The second option is a bit more challenging and has a longer walking time with a higher elevation at 4,600m/15,091 ft. It takes 5 to 6 hours. Either one will give you a spectacular view of the distant surrounding. After reaching the summit you will return and spend the night at Bumdra camp.
