CSI Market: This is the largest market dedicated to products made and grown in Bhutan.

Drive to Paro and en route, visit Tamchog Lhakhang: Tamchog Lhakhang is located some 15 km along the road from Paro to Thimphu. Perched on a deserted hill just above the bridge, with magnificent views of the Paro River and surrounding mountains, it is one of Paro's many tourist attractions.

Ringpung Dzong: Rinpung Dzong: "Fortress on a heap of jewels" was built by Zhabdrung Ngwang Namgyel in 1646. Considered one of the finest examples of architecture, the Dzong, also known as Paro Dzong, houses the valley's administrative offices.

Taa Dzong: This conch-shaped Paro fortress is located just above the Rinpung Dzong. Taa Dzong means watchtower fortress and was converted into Bhutan's national museum under the command of Bhutan's third king, Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, in the 17th century.

Kyichu Lhakhang: Kyichu Lhakhang is said to have been built by King Songtsen Gampo of Tibet. It is thought to hold the left foot of an ogress so large that it covers Bhutan and most of eastern Tibet. It is one of 108 temples built by the Tibetan king in a single day in the whole Himalayan region, according to legend. The temple also houses a museum dedicated to the late Dilgo Khyentse Rimpoche, featuring a series of objects that once belonged to him.

Day hike to Taktsang (Tiger's Nest) monastery: Taktsang, meaning "Tiger's Nest", is built around a cave in which Guru Rinpoche (also known as Guru Padmasambhava) meditated. The monastery clings to a cliff 914 cm above the valley floor. The hike up to the monastery is exhausting, thrilling and mystical. Legend has it that Guru Rimpoche flew to the monastery site on the back of a tigress and meditated in the cave.
