Discover Paro: Top Tours and Activities in Bhutan

Nestled in the lush Paro Valley, this town is a charming gateway to Bhutan’s natural beauty and rich traditions. Surrounded by majestic mountains and dotted with fluttering prayer flags, it invites travelers to discover ancient monasteries, vibrant festivals, and peaceful villages. Whether you’re seeking adventure, culture, or serenity, this destination offers an unforgettable introduction to the unique spirit of Bhutan.

A Glimpse into the Past

Steeped in legend and history, Paro has been an important settlement for centuries. The iconic Paro Dzong, a fortress-monastery built in the 17th century, stands as a testament to Bhutan’s spiritual and defensive heritage. Over the years, the valley has witnessed royal processions, sacred dances, and the arrival of pilgrims journeying to Bhutan’s sacred sites.

Best Time to Visit

The most popular months to explore are March to May and September to November, when the weather is pleasant, skies are clear, and the valley bursts with color. Spring showcases blooming rhododendrons, while autumn offers stunning views and cultural events. The famous Paro Tsechu festival, held in spring, is a highlight for visitors.

What Should I Wear?

Comfortable walking shoes and layers are recommended, as temperatures can shift throughout the day. Modest clothing shows respect when visiting temples and monasteries; long sleeves and trousers or skirts are a safe choice.
