Paro is one of the few valleys that are wide enough for planes to navigate safely and is thus, home to Bhutan’s main international airport.
As such, Paro will most likely be your entry point to Bhutan. This is the home of Bhutan’s most famous sights: the formidable Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest) monastery which clings, seemingly impossibly, 1000m up on the valley’s sheer cliff face.
The historic town centre blends traditional wooden shopfronts with a rich array of temples and heritage sites. It’s a fitting start or finale to any Bhutan journey, rooted in culture and framed by soaring peaks.
