Paro is home to Bhutan’s only international airport, so it’s the natural place to begin your exploration of this little mountain kingdom. After an awe-inspiring landing amongst the Himalayas, visitors to Paro are met with vivid first impressions of lush green hills, meticulously tended fields, and the meandering waterways of the Paro Chhu (river).
These features lend Paro a captivating bucolic character, which it has worked to retain even as the city embraces modern development. The town is also just a stone’s throw from Bhutan’s most famous attraction: Paro Takstang, known popularly as the Tiger’s Nest Monastery. No visit to Bhutan would be complete without making the short hike to this holy cliffside site: there’s a reason it’s regarded as the most photographed place in the entire country.
But there’s much more to see and do in Paro. Partnering with Raven Tours and Treks, a company that values your unique travel preferences, will help you unlock the region’s hidden potential by going beyond the usual tourist route.
