Additional activities in this city involve canoeing, bird watching, and excursions to a Tharu village, an indigenous Nepali community.

Conversely, Pokhara boasts natural wonders like mountains, caves, lakes, and waterfalls. The city breathes nature.

Finally, you will return to Paro and spend two nights there before flying home. In Paro, you will hike to Taktsang Monastery, also known as Tiger's Nest. Located 3,120 meters above sea level, this monastery is a marvelous example of traditional Bhutanese architecture.
