Useful answers

Frequently asked questions

Can four days include Paro and Thimphu?

Yes, when the route returns to Paro before departure and does not add Punakha.

Where should Tiger's Nest go?

Use the day before departure when possible; never promise the complete hike before an early flight.

Is Dochu La on this route?

No. Dochu La is on the Thimphu–Punakha road, not between Paro and Thimphu.
