Day would start quite early. Drive till base of Taktsang Ramthangka and commence the hike to Taktsang. Hike would take about 4 - 5 hrs (round trip) depending on how fast one can walk. Enroute stop at Taktsang cafeteria for refreshment. Continue climb to Taktsang monastery. The most famous saint Guru Padmasambhava flew on the back of Tigress from Tibet to tame the demons who were opposing the spread of the Budhism in Bhutan in 746 A. D. Perched on 1000m, 3000ft overlooking the valley; it would justifiably qualify as one of the wonders. It is must visit for Bhutanese atleast once in their life time. Hence the name Taktsang or the Tiger's Lair. Descend to the base of the mountain and return to the hotel. You will have the opportunity to do some shopping in the city centre before dinner. Overnight at the hotel.
Drive to Paro International Airport. The representative of Bhutan Soul shall see off and bid farewell.
