Set in a scenic valley and home to many of Bhutan’s oldest temples and monasteries as well as the National Museum, Paro is the gateway to Bhutan, with Bhutan’s only airport.
At the northern end of the valley, Mount Jomolhari stands majestic and feeds the Paro valley with its glacial icy waters.
The Paro Valley is one Bhutan’s most fertile regions, producing the bulk of Bhutan’s famous red rice from its terraced fields.
The hike to spectacular Tiger’s Nest Monastery is one of the most popular trips from Paro.
