Paro

Home to Bhutan's only international airport and its most iconic sight — the cliffside Tiger's Nest monastery. Paro lies in western Bhutan, the part of the country most visitors begin in, close to Paro's international airport. Highlights include Paro Taktsang (Tiger's Nest), Rinpung Dzong, National Museum of Bhutan and Drukgyel Dzong ruins. A visit here is easiest with a local guide, who can explain what you are seeing, open doors that are hard to find alone and handle the permits Bhutan requires. You can see Paro on our tours: Grand Bhutan Cultural Circuit, Jomolhari Base Camp Trek, Bhutan Honeymoon Escape and Central Bhutan Grand Cultural Immersion. Every journey is built around a licensed guide, a private vehicle and carefully chosen hotels or homestays — tell us your dates and interests and we will plan Paro into a trip that fits.
