Enroute it passes over ancient rural villages followed by some of Bhu-tan’s most famous and prominent sights like Paro Rin-pung Dzong built in the 15th Century which currently houses the administrative and monastic body of Paro. Slightly above the ridge is the Taa Dzong ( National Museum) and minutes later a close up of the world’s famous, Paro Taktsang or the ‘Tigers Nest’ Monastery will give you a breath taking experience and a unique feature of this tour.
