Opis
Hike through the forested slopes of the Thimphu Valley to Cheri Monastery on a guided tour. Learn about Bhutanese spiritual traditions and enjoy the fresh mountain air and beautiful views.
Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel in Thimphu. Meet your English-speaking guide and driver, then travel north through the scenic Thimphu Valley towards Dodena, approximately 30–45 minutes away.
Arrive at the Dodena trailhead and prepare for the hike. Cross the traditional covered wooden bridge over the river and begin your walk towards Cheri Monastery. Follow a peaceful uphill path through forested slopes. Enjoy fresh mountain air, prayer flags, birdsong, and beautiful views of the surrounding valley. Your guide will share information about local nature and Bhutanese spiritual traditions.
Explore the historic monastery complex, subject to access permissions. Learn about its establishment by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal in 1620 and its importance in the foundation of Bhutan's monastic community. Discover the monastery's connection with the Drukpa Kagyu tradition, the history of Bhutan's first monastic body, and the meditation retreats in the surrounding hills. Enjoy quiet time to appreciate the peaceful setting.
Take photographs from permitted outdoor areas, enjoy the mountain scenery, and have a short rest before beginning the descent. Walk downhill through the forest and return across the traditional bridge to the trailhead.
Meet your driver and enjoy the scenic journey back. An optional short stop at Pangri Zampa Monastery may be possible if time and access allow. End your Cheri Monastery and Buddhist Heritage experience at your hotel in Thimphu.
