Today we will visit the National Memorial Chorten, the giant golden Buddha statue overlooking the valley, and the Takin Zoo to see Bhutan's unusual national animal. Later, we'll visit the Folk Heritage Museum and head to the Clock Tower Square for some local shopping.

We drive back to the beautiful Paro valley this morning. We will visit the majestic Paro Dzong fortress and check out the historic artifacts inside the round Ta Dzong National Museum.

Day 4: The Big Hike Day: Choose Your Adventure Paro
Today offers a few exciting options.
