The country's second most important town and only international airport,  Paro is the ideal town  from which to start your  Bhutan trip. 

Asia

Right at the foot of the Himalayas, Bhutan, a country immune to the passing of time, is opening its doors to its extraordinary landscapes and architectural wonders. Thimphu, perhaps the only capital city in the world to not have traffic lights, is the spiritual centre of the country with its numerous Buddhist sites. It’s impossible not to fall under the charm of this long-forgotten region. Situated between India and Tibet, Bhutan is gradually emerging from centuries of isolation. Mass tourism does not exist here, and the natural and architectural sites have been incredibly well preserved. You will discover this unique destination through the beauty of its untouched landscapes and the warmth and kindness of its people. Adventure and a complete change of scenery are the essence of every stay in Bhutan, so be prepared for an amazing experience in one of the most secret countries in the world.

Paro

Kali La

 Thimphu, Bhutan's capital , is nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas. This city has been able to preserve its charm and its Buddhist culture for the greatest pleasure of travellers.

A country with the size of a continent, India fascinates and will always leave you wanting more. From the intensity of the tropical beaches to the salty lakes of the Himalayas, via the ice deserts of Ladakh or temples of the Maharadjahs of Rajastan, the list of majestic places could go on eternally. Travelling in India is a concentration of unique experiences, whether through its incomparable landscapes, its vibrant cities or unexpected encounters. And there is also the beauty of life, with its exceptional tones and colours. The omnipresent music, from the bells on the women’s feet to the litanies escaping from the temples; the sparkling colours of the saris and bright colours of the turbans. An unequalled energy, bright and frank glances, coupled with hearty and generous smiles. Would you like to travel to India, off the beaten tracks, where you long to find calm and pleasure? Don’t look any further! With Evaneos Travel, you create the holiday that suits you. You will discover the foothills of the Tibetan Himalayas during a road trip on a motorbike, or you could let yourself be bewitched by the charms of Rajasthan or the Taj Mahal in complete luxury.

According to legend, Guru Rinpoche, leading Buddhist figure in Bhutan, got to Taktsang on tiger's back (hence its nickname of Tiger's Nest), in a bid to chase away the demon that was scaring the local population. If like me, you do not have a flying tigress, I suggest you bank on at least two hours to reach the site either on foot or on mule's back. The climb (and its 500 steps!) offers an unrestricted view of the Paro valley and its preserved nature.
When you have reached two-thirds of the way up, I recommend that you make a stop, time enough to take a few magnificent photos, but also to rest! It is compulsory to leave your personal belongings at the entrance to Taktsang monastery , so only take the strict minimum as there are hardly any secure lockers.
The visit of this must-see of Bhutan is also a unique opportunity to learn a bit more about the rich history of this small Himalayan kingdom, so allow your guide to recount the many legends to you. As it is forbidden to take photos and videos on the site, I advise you to take your time visiting to appreciate the place and its mystical atmosphere, but do not forget to go back down!
