Paro, nestled in the Paro Valley, is one of Bhutan’s most
enchanting destinations and the site of the country’s only international
airport, making it the gateway for most visitors. This picturesque town, with
its colourful wooden shopfronts, cafes, and handicraft shops, is a delight to
explore.
Surrounded by lush green hills and traditional Bhutanese farmhouses, Paro offers stunning views at every turn. The Paro River, or Pa Chhu, meanders through the valley, enhancing the serene landscape. The town’s elevation ensures a cool, refreshing climate, ideal for outdoor exploration.
Paro is home to iconic cultural sites like the majestic Paro Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest Monastery), perched on a cliffside 900 meters above the valley floor. This sacred site offers breathtaking views and profound spirituality. Nearby, the National Museum of Bhutan, housed in the ancient Ta Dzong watchtower, provides fascinating insights into Bhutanese history and culture.
