One of the most spiritual places to visit in Paro, Dra Karpo translates to the splitting of rock. It is believed that Guru Rinpoche who meditated on this hill broke a rock into pieces and revealed an evil spirit taking refuge within it; and hence the name "Dra Karpo". The hill is considered extremely sacred and pilgrims take 108 rounds of walk around the hill as a way to free themselves from the sins committed.
The walking trail is paved and the hike to Dra Karpo is easy and the views around are rewarding.
