After breakfast, visit the Taa Dzong(Fortress) now a National Museum (which was a former sentinel and watch tower) and presently houses Bhutan’s rare and cultural artifacts. Taa-Dzong has a maze of secret tunnels and passages exhibiting some rather eccentric materials, like the horse egg. Perched on a hill top, the pleasant surroundings command a 160 degree view of the Paro valley. A short vertical walk down will reach you to the Rinpung dzong ( Fortress )
Rinpung dzong houses the local monastic body, the offices of the district judiciary and the governor’s administrative offices. Finally a cobbled footpath leads you out, winding down in tricky swerves to the traditional cantilever bridge. It was in this court yard of the Rinpung Dzong and the Bridge where the International Hollywood Movie “Little Buddha” was shot, starring Reanu Reeves.
