Paro
Paro is Bhutan’s most picturesque valley, where alpine air, ancient temples and timeless traditions converge. Home to the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery and the country’s only international airport, it provides the perfect start to any Himalayan journey.
With its pristine landscape, striking dzongs and centuries-old monasteries, Paro offers a beguiling first impression of Bhutan. Nestled in a broad valley at the foot of Mount Jomolhari, this historic town is home to Bhutan’s only international airport, yet feels worlds away from the trappings of modernity.
Rising nearly 3,000 metres above sea level, Taktsang Monastery, or the Tiger’s Nest, clings precariously to the cliffs above the Paro Valley floor; reaching it by foot is undoubtedly one of Asia’s most rewarding day hikes. Nearby, the National Museum of Bhutan offers a rich introduction to the kingdom’s culture, housed in a former watchtower overlooking the valley.
Travellers will find exquisite boutique lodges and wellness-focused resorts tucked discreetly into pine forests and rice terraces, where private guides, spa rituals and fine Bhutanese dining await. Whether exploring hidden temples, sipping tea on a panoramic terrace or simply breathing in the cool, cedar-scented air, Paro invites you to relax and recharge.
