Paro, a charming town in Bhutan's Paro Valley, is not just your average destination. It's packed with sacred sites, historical buildings, and even Bhutan's only international airport! You can stroll down the main street lined with traditional buildings, visit the famous Tiger's Nest monastery, or marvel at the stunning views from the Ta-Dzhong, Bhutan's tallest building. And let's not forget about Paro Airport, known as one of the most challenging in the world for pilots due to its location among the Himalayan peaks. Whether you're into history, culture, or just breathtaking landscapes, Paro has something for everyone.
