You stay overnight in
Paro. This day is
planned for sightseeing
in Paro. You visit the
old fort ruins of the
Drukgyal Dzong, which
offers a very scenic
drive of a typical
Bhutanese landscape. The
dzong was destroyed by
accidental fire and left
in ruins as an evocative
reminder of the great
victories it was built
to commemorate. On a
clear day the Mt.
Jhomolhari(7314metres,
24000 feet),the sacred
summit, reaches skyward
beyond the Dzong.
Afterwards visit the Ta
Dzong (built in1656 and
renovated in 1968), an
ancient watchtower,
which now houses the
National Museum. This
unusual round building
is believed to be in the
shape of a conch shell.
The centerpiece of this
Museum is a complex
four-sided carving
depicting the history of
Buddhism and its
propagation. One side is
Sakyamuni and the great
teacher Atisha,
representing the Sakya
School. On the next lies
Geylup, a disciple of
Dalai Lama. Another is
Nyingma lineage, the
head is Guru Padmasanva,
and the final is Drukpa
Kagyu with the figure of
Vajra Dhara. Below the
museum is the Paro
Rimpung Dzong (literally
meaning "Heap of
Jewels"), built in 1646
by Shabdrung Ngawang
Namgyal, the centre of
civil and religious
authority in this
valley. Here you can see
finest example of
Bhutanese architecture
enroute you visit the
near by Kichu Lhakhang
built in 659 A.D by the
Tibetan king Srongsen
Gampo. This Monastery is
one of the 108
monasteries built across
the Himalayan region by
the Tibetan King to
