Next, visit the sacred National Memorial Chorten, where locals gather daily for prayer and circumambulation.

Overnight stay in Thimphu.
After breakfast, check out of your hotel and set off on a picturesque drive toward Paro.

The trek takes approximately 2 to 3 hours uphill through pine-scented forests decorated with prayer flags (ponies are also available for hire up to the cafeteria viewpoint).
