Her Imperial Highness Princess Mako trekked today to Paro Taktshang monastery which is perched on the mountainside at 3,000 metres above the sea level.
The princess arrived in Paro on Sunday for two-day royal excursions. On the first day, she visited Kyichu Lhakhang and offered a butter lamp.
Yesterday, Princess Mako made a royal visit to the Nishioka Museum at the Farm Machinery Corporation Limited. The museum displays Dasho Keiji Nishioka’s contribution towards agricultural development in Bhutan.
Her Imperial Highness also visited the Nishioka Chorten at the National Seed Centre in Baangdey. The chorten was built in remembrance of Dasho Nishioka who died in 1992. He was fondly called as ‘Japan Sahib’ by Bhutanese people.
Princess Mako’s itinerary in Paro also included visits to a farm house in Lamgong Gewog, Rinpung Dzong and the National Museum.
She leaves Bhutan tomorrow. Her Imperial Highness arrived in the country on June 1 for seven-day official visit upon the invitation of His Majesty The King.
