Getting there

Walking

From the center of Paro, head towards the Paro Dzong (Paro Rinpung Dzong). Once you reach the Dzong, continue walking along the road that leads to the National Museum of Bhutan (Ta Dzong). After visiting the museum, proceed uphill on the path towards Chumphu Nye. The trail begins to ascend steeply through a forested area. Follow the signs indicating Chumphu Nye as you make your way up. It will take approximately 1-2 hours to reach the site from the museum, depending on your pace. Be sure to carry water and wear sturdy shoes.

Hiking

If you are starting from a higher elevation, such as the Tiger's Nest Monastery, you can take the same trail back down towards Paro. Once you reach the base, instead of continuing to Paro, follow the signs that direct you towards Chumphu Nye. This route involves a combination of downhill and uphill hiking. Ensure you have a map or a local guide, as some trails can be less marked. The hike can take about 3-4 hours from the monastery, depending on your fitness level.

Local Guide

If you prefer a guided experience, consider hiring a local guide in Paro who can assist you in navigating the trails to Chumphu Nye. They will provide not only directions but also insights into the local culture and history. You can find guides at tourist information centers or through hotels in Paro. This option is highly recommended for those unfamiliar with the terrain.
