Itinerary

Day 2

Punakha

-

Travel to Punakha 71 km / approx 2½ hours; sightseeing in Punakha. Leaving Thimphu, we start our journey into the countryside towards the Punakha valley, the winter capital of Bhutan. The drive ascends gradually to the Dochula pass over 10300 ft, with magnificent vistas of the Himalayan range. The Dochula Monastery also known as the Druk Wangyal Khangzang Chortens is a tribute to the service and leadership of His Majesty the king. The design inspired by the Queen is a unique cluster of 108 Chortens seen from all directions. The descent to Punakha is vibrant and colorful, with the fluttering prayer flags adding to a rich topography dotted by terrace farming and rivers flowing through. En-route, visit the Lamperi Botanical park, which is known for rhododendrons as well for ious birds species such as Satyr’s Tragopan and a host of mixed species that dwell in the cool broadleaf forests. Further on the way to Punakha, you can spot the Grey Bushchat and Rufous-breasted Accentor, Red-flanked Bluetail, and Golden Bush-RobinIdentify the Red-tailed and Chestnut-tailed Minlas, Blue-winged, Rufus-winged, White-browed and Nepal Fulvetta and Whiskered, Stripe-throated, Rufus-vented, Black-chinned and White-bellied Yuhinas. You will be able to espy a good number of Laughing Thrushes and Barwings before reaching Punakha. We will visit the historic Punakha Dzong sprawled at the confluence of the Phochu male and Mochu female rivers. It was built by Shabdrung Nawang in 1637 and serves as the winter residence of the head abbot, Je Khenpo and headquarters of the district administration. It terms of architecture it is widely believed to be a master piece. People believe that deities of the area helped Zhabdrung in the construction of the fortress during nights. Bhutan’s first king was crowned at the dzong on 17th December 1907. The royal weddings of the fourth and fifth kings were held here in October 1988 and October 2011 respectively. The annual festival dedicated to the protecting deities of Yeshey Gonpo Mahakala and Pelden Lhamo Mahakali is held within the fortress in March-April. A glacial lake outburst in the north of Punakha in 1994 heavily destroyed some parts of the structure, but miraculously no sacred relics have been lost during the floods. The structure was rebuilt to its original grandeur now. Overnight stay a hotel in Punakha.
