Overview
A concise tour for visitors with limited time that showcases Bhutan's most beautiful monasteries, including Tiger's Nest and Trongsa Dzong.

The route crosses the Dochula to Punakha Dzong at the meeting of the Male and Female rivers, then continues to Trongsa Dzong and the Chendebji Chorten, an 18th-century stupa modelled on Kathmandu's Swayambhunath, before returning for the hike to Taktsang.
