Nestled in the western part of Bhutan, the serene valley of Paro is a gateway to the country’s most iconic landmarks and cultural experiences. With its pristine air, emerald-green fields, and centuries-old monasteries, Paro is often considered the perfect introduction to Bhutan — and rightly so. Whether you're drawn by its natural beauty, spiritual heritage, or the sheer tranquility that pervades its landscapes, Paro offers a compelling mix of Bhutan’s best highlights.
The journey begins even before you land. Paro International Airport is famously one of the most challenging airports in the world to land at, thanks to its location among towering peaks. But the breathtaking descent through the mountains is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that sets the tone for what lies ahead.
