The most beautiful of all Bhutan's valleys, Paro is yet another example of unmanned beauty of Bhutan. With the only airport of Bhutan, Paro is the perfect tourist getaway and from here they can explore other regions as well. Paro has the best in country complex of traditional architecture: two lines of rich decorated buildings housing small shops, institutions and restaurants. But the most interesting place is Paro Dzong – fortress-monastery overlooking beautiful valley. Right now we do not have hotels in Paro. The list of Paro hotels will be soon updated on our website. |

Overview
|
Paro, the most beautiful of all Bhutan's valley, was also historically the centre of two of the most important trade routes to Tibet.
Today the new road to Phuntsholing on the Indian border runs through the valley, amid a patch work of rice, paddies, wheat fields, trout filled streams and scattered settlements.
Here the Paro Chuu flows south from its watershed in the chomolahri range. Above it in a rocky outcrop of the sleep hillside stands the Paro Dzong, at an altitude of just over 7000 feet, over looking both sides of the valley this dzong was historically one of Bhutan's strongest and most strategic fortresses. Before the rebuilding of the Tashi Chho Dzong at Thimpu, it was also the seat of the National Assembly. |
