Our last day of the trip. After breakfast we visited Paro National Museum, housed in the Ta Dzong (watchtower). Here an intriguing collection of artifacts provides a wonderful glimpse of the rich culture and heritage of this country. The multi storeyed building houses rare collections of religious artefacts as well as huge animal motifs. The Dress, Utensils and Arms sections are also worth watching. The Mask section is a must watch. Here numerous masks of animal faces are beautifully displayed each depicting the intrinsic characteristic of the creature. Quite interestingly, these characteristics can be correlated with human behavior.
Idyllic Paro market
After lunch, we lazed around in the clean and empty streets. Paro market has many curio shops and is a good place for shopping. After we were done with, we drove to Phuntsholing to spend our last night in this Himalayan country.
