About Paro

Paro is a picturesque valley town nestled in the western part of Bhutan, known for its stunning natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and serene Himalayan landscapes. It is a gateway to Bhutan’s unique blend of ancient traditions and pristine wilderness. The town is famous for its well-preserved dzongs (fortresses), ancient temples, and vibrant festivals that showcase Bhutanese spirituality and art. Paro’s appeal lies in its harmonious balance of nature and culture, offering visitors a peaceful retreat with opportunities for trekking, cultural immersion, and exploration of Bhutan’s history. The iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery, perched dramatically on a cliffside, is a symbol of Bhutan’s spiritual identity and a must-visit landmark. Visitors are drawn to Paro for its tranquil environment, friendly locals, and the chance to experience one of the world’s last remaining Himalayan kingdoms in an authentic way.

Travel Tips

The best times to visit are spring and autumn for pleasant weather and clear skies. Pack layered clothing suitable for cool mornings and warmer afternoons. Respect local customs by dressing modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Carry Bhutanese ngultrum or Indian rupees for payments, as credit cards are not widely accepted. Stay hydrated and acclimate gradually to the altitude. Always follow guidance from local guides and officials for a safe and respectful visit.
