About Kyichu Lhakhang in Paro
Only 4.7 km away from the centre of the Paro town is the temple of Kyichu Lhakhang – the Sacred Jewel of Bhutan. Inside the complex of this temple lies the oldest shrine that stands in Tibet – the Jowo Temple. The first temple in the Kyichu Lhakhang premises was built by King Songtsen Gampo of Tibet in 659 AD. The legend myth says that it was constructed to pin down the left foot of a giant ogress who lay across the lands of Bhutan and Tibet and was restricting the progress of Buddhism all around. The concept of good over evil that presides in the very significance of Kyichu Lhakhang temple’s origin is what brings so many people to its doorstep. One can find local elderlies shuffling around and rotating the prayer wheels all day long, muttering chants or prayers.
Kyichu Lhakhang in Paro is one of the most ornate temples in Bhutan. As one enters the innermost courtyard, on the right to the doorway is a mural of King Gesar of Ling, the famous Tibetan warrior-king who has apparently written the world’s longest poem. The premise houses a 5m high statue of Guru Rinpoche as well, just beside the main temple of Kyichu Lhakhang, consecrated in 1968 by Ashi Kesang Wangchuk, the wife and the then Queen of the third King of Bhutan. It is said that Guru Rinpoche himself visited the temple in the 8th century and hidden treasures inside. There is a chorten for the queen’s Nyingma Buddhism spiritual teacher Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche as well.
Coming to the main Kyichu Lhakhang temple, it houses one of the most precious gems of the country, a 7th century original Tibetan statue of Jowo Jampa or Jowo Shakyamuni. This statue is a contemporary of the original one in Lhasa, and its temple forms a sacred network of 12 Jowo Lhakhang temples that surround the holy temple of Lhasa in Tibet. Outside there are prayer wheels and a statue of Chenrezig with 11 heads and 1000 arms. However, no description of Kyichu Lhakhang can do justice to how magical it looks like in real life.

Tanha's 10 days trip to Paro
Over all i had a good experience but since i was not aware about a place named phobjikha and i had not added it in my itinerary. I wanted it to be added and one other place to be cancelled. I was in contact with Harry, Bhutan INC did change my itinerary on immediate basis but i had to pay 100% of the cancellation charges of the hotel at paro. They are agents who book rooms regularly, i believe they could have managed to adjust my room to anyone else and i would not have had to pay extra at phobjikha. Other thing, after 3 days of my travel, my driver was changed. I understand the driver has an emergency but the other driver was all wanting us to go to places and schedule striictly according to the itinerary. Since the hotels booked by inc were all very very far away in all the cities, i had to pay extra every time to go to the town (taxi is bhutan is not economical) I had mentioned before going that i need pick up and drop from tiger nest and all that while ask the driver to take my parents around town. on which harry said, the driver will be flexible according to me, but he was not. I had to pay 600 rs for tiger nest to come back. He just didnt come to pick me up even when i said there are no cabs available here. I had to pay a driver of other car to drop me to the town. My first driver Tobden was really great and co operative. So, as much as possible please dont change the driver. Again last day when i was to be dropped at phuenstoling, my second driver sonam said he has some emergency and he will arrange some other car to drop me. When i refused for waganor, he gave me some other car with his friend who was not a tourist driver to drop me to phuenstoling. I contacted harry about all this the last day, amd also about tiger nest to which he said he will look into it but every time the driver said he has got no update from harry. and on top of that, harry just completely stopped replying to my messages. Will you just run away after the trip is to end???? What kind of professionalism is this??? Well, in bhutan i met a lot of people who said you could have got better hotels at lower price in the heart of the town. So, i would recommend book on your own, things will be easier.Santhosh K S

Overall the trip was very good. we dint get the e-permit as promised by the agent bcoz of this we were suppose to go and stand in queue to get the permit once we reached there. As per iterinary .they were suppose to provide local guide with us .But once we reach there , there was no local guide. after speaking to the agent , he arranged the local guide. Apart from this , trip was nice.Chitnisyogesh

Bhutan is truly the kingdom og happiness. People are calm and look happy. Yogi from Flying fox was great in co-ordinating with the trip itinery and gave me a good deal and was very responsive and we chose Flying Fox over others. Sangey was assigned to us as a Driver & Guide. The man was vibrant and polite and also a good guide who shared with us many Bhutanese experiences and culture and we enjoyed each other's company. He told us about the history of the places.He also answered my questions about Bhutan and we asked him a lot of those. He was always before time at our hotel to receive us. We were assigned a Santa fe car and his driving skills were unbelievable in the landscapes. He took very good of our pictures too. This was a bonus for us. He told us his personal stories, we told him our's and after 7 days, he definitely became a friend from a stranger. He was cordial and soft-spoken just like all Bhutanese people.Bhutan - You are awesome. we had a memorable 8 days and the memories to cherish for a lifetime. the road trip in the monutains was absolutely great and comfortable. The food in Bhutan is never a problem for people coming from India and it provides with various Indian cuisines and every nook and corner in the towns has a cafe.Isheet Bansal

Thank you Travel Triangle for providing a platform to get connected to some sincere and caring travel agents like Dream Caster Tours and Travel.Initially their travel itinerary cought my attention,it was so beautifully explained in detail. Moreover as I started discussing about our plans, Chunku Ghalley answered all my queries very patiently throughout.Moreover,I had planned for a family trip to Bhutan from 17-22nd Nov, however due to some medical emergency I had to postpone it for a week at the last moment.Dreamcaster handled everything perfectly and changed our plan accordingly within a day's notice. From picking us from NJP to dropping us back to NJP, our tour guide Sudan helped us seeing and experiencing Bhutan in our own way. The best thing about Dreamcaster is that they never overpromised. We got more than expected. Thank you Dreamcaster for a wonderful trip! ❤Rajat Jaitly

It was amazing experience with Bhutan Rental And Travel. The supporting officers of company Karuna and Pema were so cooperative and guiding persons. Only one thing I want to advice Bhutan Rental & Travel is that when we got down at Bagdogra, we were not having mobile network at that point of time. We face some problem in contacting vehicle drivers. It is advised that they should give drivers name plates of the travellers, so that the travellers may not face problem in airport. Rest we have fun and in future we will only travel with Bhutan Rental And Travel company.Property Types in Paro
