paro
the gateway to the last shangri-la
Paro offers a soulful introduction to Bhutan, beginning with a dramatic flight between Himalayan peaks into a landscape unchanged by time. Spirituality defines daily life here, anchored by the legendary Tiger’s Nest (Paro Taktsang), perched 3,000 feet above the valley. Explore the massive Rinpung Dzong fortress and the National Museum, or wander willow-lined streets for traditional crafts. Conclude your day with a hot stone bath and a meal of Ema Datshi. Paro is more than a destination; it is a peaceful portal into the "Gross National Happiness" of the mountain kingdom.
