Bhutan Tour with Archery

Archery is widely practiced throughout Bhutan as the national sport. This 8-day adventure tour to Bhutan features archery lessons with locals as well as visits to Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, and Gangtey to learn about the country's rich cultural history.

This cultural trip of Bhutan will also take you to some of the country's most significant cultural centers, including Paro, Thimpu, and Punakha. Paro valley is home to Bhutan's only international airport. The 15th-century Dungtse Lhakhang temple in Paro was first built. The Paro Taktsang Monastery, also called the Tiger's Nest, is 10 kilometers from Paro. It's Bhutan's most famous building. Tradition says Guru Padmasambhava flew from Tibet to Bhutan and settled there. In Paro lies the 1649 Ta-Dzhong, Bhutan's tallest tower.

Thimpu, the capital and largest city, is the best place to experience Bhutan's rich culture. Thimpu Tasichho Dzong, a fortification and Buddhist monastery, using traditional Bhutanese architecture. The Dzong's location on the Wangchhu river combines cultural and aesthetic magnificence. In Thimpu is a memorial to Bhutan's third king, Jigme Dorji Wangchuk. Thimpu has a 52-meter-tall Buddha statue. The statue, placed on a hill, offers stunning views of the region's mountains and Thimpu's valley.

Punakha was Bhutan's capital until 1955. It's where the 108 Druk Wangyal Chortens, tributes to Bhutanese troops killed in 2003, are located. The most magnificent temple is Khamsum Yuley in Punakha. This palace, built by Bhutan's sixth Queen Mother, has frescoes, paintings, and idols. Punakha Dzong Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal built the Dzong in 1637 to take advantage of its location at the Pho Chu and Mo Chu rivers. Its goal hasn't altered. This Dzong is famous in Bhutan. Visit the seventh-century Kyichu shrine to travel across time. The temple's name implies that it is a source of peace. A museum honoring the late Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche is within walking distance of the temple. Rinpoche's photos and other belongings still exist.

Just a few steps away from Changlimithang Stadium is where the city's most prominent archery competitions take place, and most days of the week you can expect to see arrows in flight. Teams battle against one another to strike targets located 145 meters away as their adversaries comment on shots that miss the target and sing and dance to celebrate shots that are successful. A tournament is quite the spectacle, with lots of friendly ribbing and friendliness, and the bows used can be either traditional bamboo or high-tech carbon-fibre compound bows.

This tour is perfect for those who want to visit the mystical country of Bhutan and get some Archery practice in with the natives in a short amount of time. In addition to the urban attractions, tourists can take in breathtaking vistas of the region's rhododendron and oak forests, as well as the Black Mountain Range, during their travels.

As the weekend Market in Thimpu lasts on specific days only, you will have to schedule your arrival in Paro on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. 

 

Best Time for "Bhutan Tour with Archery"

Bhutan is a great place to visit any time of year, and each season has something different to offer. From March to May, when flowers bloom in the valleys, is the best time to visit Bhutan. Whether it's because of its festivals and celebrations, its clear skies and views of the Himalayan peaks, its thriving plants and animals, or its beautiful snowfall. But keep in mind that this is a busy time for travelers, so it might be hard to get a travel permit or a room. Bhutan will make sure you have a great time in nature and all of its beautiful children, and you'll take home a memory you'll remember for the rest of your life. From June to August, when it rains a lot, is the "low season," when trekking is less likely to happen. Anyone can go on the Glimpse of Bhutan tour at any time of the year. March to May and September to November are the best times to visit, so that's when most people do. The weather and climate are great for exploring during these times. The rainy monsoon season and summer (June–July) will make your trip more difficult.
