You may visit the giant Buddha statue for splendid views of the town or find out more about traditional Bhutanese arts at the National Textile Museum and the Paper Making Factory. In Thimphu you can choose to stay at either the premium Druk Hotel or opulent Taj Tashi. |

You can also take a pleasant walk en route to visit the 'Divine Madman’s' Temple, built in honour of one of Bhutan's most loved, and most interesting, saints. Your hotel for the next two nights is the sublime Uma Punakha. |
| Day 6 | You can enjoy a full day's walk today to Khamsum Yuelley Namgyal Chorten and along the river valley to visit Punakha Dzong. A shorter valley walk can be arranged if you'd prefer time to relax and enjoy the superb facilities at your hotel. |
