Name Your Price → Browse hotelsAbout Paro
Paro is a fertile Himalayan valley and the site of Bhutan's only international airport. Its fortress-monastery, Rinpung Dzong, dates to the 17th century, while the Tiger's Nest monastery clings to a cliff high above the valley floor. Many visitors arrive here before travelling on to Thimphu.
A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
