Its function is to connect the Bhutanese people to their rural past through the exhibition of items and artifacts used in rural households and the demonstration of rural customs, traditions, and skills. The museum building, itself an interesting artifact, is a traditional, rammed mud-and-timber house. It contains everyday household objects and traditional domestic tools still used by rural Bhutanese families.

Today we drive to Paro and Visit Kyichu Lhakhang, one of the oldest and most sacred shrines of the Kingdom. Then visit the Dungtse Lhakhang possibly the only ancient temple built in the shape of a chorten and is literally chained down since local belief holds that it will otherwise fly off to heaven.
After lunch we’re off to the National Museum, located in Paro Dzong’s 17th-century watchtower. The building itself boasts an unusual shape said to resemble a conch shell. It was in this tower that Ugyen Wangchuck, the future first king of Bhutan, was imprisoned in 1872, when he came to put down a revolt. See a fine collection of old thangka paintings and textiles, ancient weapons, and Bhutanese artifacts. The museum, by the way, is considered a temple due to the religious objects it houses, and as such we are requested to remove our shoes and to move inside in a clockwise direction.
To Paro Dzong itself, also called RinpungDzong, the Fortress of a Heap of Jewels. Constructed in the early 15th century as a diminutive fort, it was presented to the religious and political authority of ShabdrungNgarvang, who developed it into a much more commanding fortress in 1646. This is without doubt one of the kingdom’s finest examples of traditional Bhutanese architecture.
Rinpung’s central tower and galleries are notable for their superb woodwork and classical paintings of Buddhist cosmology. We see representations of the universe as interpreted by two different philosophies. If Rinpung Dzong looks familiar, you might remember it from Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1993 film, “Little Buddha.”
Cross a nearby traditional wooden bridge called Nyamai-Zam, which spans the Paro River. In times of war, the bridge would be removed to protect the dzongfrom Bhutan’s enemies. Evening at leisure. Overnight Hotel at Paro.
Day 6 : Hike to Tiger’s Nest
Our day begins with an early breakfast, sustenance for a pony trek this morning to view one of Bhutan’s most revered Buddhist pilgrimage sites, TaktshangLhakhang, locally known as Tiger’s Nest Monastery (altitude: 10,433 feet). The complex also includes the Temple of Phorbu, which contains a phorbu, a triple-bladed dagger used to stab demons.
Our trail offers spectacular views of this sacred monastery perched precariously on a sheer rock face 3,000 feet above the valley floor. Legend has it that Guru Rimpoche arrived in Paro Valley more than a millennium ago on a back of a tigress. He meditated for three months in a cave that was later converted into this monastery. The only sounds heard here are the murmurs of wind, water, and the chanting of monks.
Today, pilgrims from all corners of the kingdom come to worship and meditate. We stop at the Cafeteria, about halfway to the monastery, for wonderful views. From here, it’s about an hour’s trek through stunning landscape to reach Taktshang Cafeteria. Where we will stop for tea & snacks.
On our return, we again stop at the Cafeteria, this time for lunch.
