Getting there

Walking

Start from the center of Jakar, where the Jakar Dzong is located. Head east along the main road, following signs towards Jakar Hospital. After approximately 15 minutes of walking, you will reach the hospital. Continue past the hospital and take the first left onto a smaller path that leads into the hills. The path will take you through a scenic area with traditional Bhutanese houses. After about 30 minutes of walking uphill, you will see the Padtselling Monastery on your right. The monastery is perched on a hill and is visible from a distance.

Walking

If you are near the Jakar Market, you can take a slightly longer but scenic route. From the market, head south towards the river and cross the bridge. Once across, turn right and follow the riverbank for about 20 minutes. You will see a trail leading uphill; take that path for another 25 minutes, which will lead you directly to the Padtselling Monastery. This route offers beautiful views of the valley and is less crowded.

Walking

For those near the Bumthang Cultural Museum, start by heading north towards the main road. Turn right and walk for about 10 minutes until you reach the intersection with the road leading to the hospital. Follow the previous direction towards Jakar Hospital, then continue along the path described earlier. This route will take about 45 minutes total, factoring in the initial walk from the museum.
