Why go · Best in spring & autumn
Paro is one of Bhutan's most historic valleys, home to many of the kingdom's oldest temples and monasteries. The valley is also home to the country's only international airport. The iconic Tiger's Nest Monastery (Taktsang) perches dramatically on a cliffside 900 meters above the valley floor.
