Paro to Haa Cycling from Chelela Pass to Haa Town: Haa is a small western district recently open for tourism. You hardly see any tourists visiting this place as it is a new destination we have included in our Bhutan Tour program. The route takes you to the highest road point of chelela pass at 4800M above sea level. Your adventure tour of Bhutan starts from here as you glide in your cycle on a narrow road towards Haa valley through the alpine forest. Visit the 7th-century white temple in the evening leisure time.
The next day we start the journey from the same route towards Paro but this time we hike down from chelela Pass towards Kili Goenpa Nunnery where hundreds of Nuns live and meditate day and night. The hike is one of the beautiful alpine hikes through varieties of wild flowers and rhododendrons during spring. The hike is about 2 hours easy walk. Upon reaching the temple we shall let you converse with Nuns there. They are friendly Nuns; some of them can speak fluent English, making your conversation more comfortable. Our team will be waiting at the route end. After a quick coffee drive to Paro. Overnight at Hotel.
The most incredible adventure and the most loved hike is Tiger nest Hike. 90% of tourist visiting Bhutan has hiked this very popular temple at Paro. The walk takes about 3 hours from the base camp. Temple looks just the size of a small golf ball from the base and at first, you may hesitate to hike by looking at the distant temple. Once you reach the temple the feeling you get upon completion of the trek is more significant than what you have in mind initially. There are monks living there and a head lama performing puja constantly inside the monastery. The temple lies 900m above Paro valley. If you hike further you will reach Bumdra, Bumdra trek is a 1-day trek program from Paro and is very popular among day hikers. We also organize luxury camping at the location.
In the afternoon visit only Paro Dzong and Taa Dzong. Overnight at Hotel.
