Paro
From Bhutan's only international airport, you're flanked by stunning hills as you touch down, while the Paro Dzong smiles in the distance. From there, this beautiful valley town envelopes you in a serenity reflective of its many sacred sites. From the cliff-side outpost of Taktsang monastery and Drakhapo to the quiet courtyards of Kyichu Lhakhang temple, Paro emanates an inexplicable, reassuring peace, even along precarious hiking trails.
