Paro

Paro Tour Package — Bhutan

Paro is where most Bhutan journeys begin and end — home to the kingdom's only international airport, its most fertile valley, and its single most iconic landmark: the Tiger's Nest Monastery. A Paro tour package from YatraSathi Travels combines comfortable stays in the valley with guided visits to its historic dzongs, museums, and the legendary cliffside monastery that draws travellers from around the world.

Surrounded by terraced rice fields, pine-covered hills, and traditional Bhutanese farmhouses, Paro offers a gentler introduction to Bhutan before heading further into Thimphu or Punakha — or a memorable final stop before departure.

Tiger's Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang)

No trip to Bhutan is complete without the hike to Taktsang Monastery, perched roughly 900 metres above the Paro Valley floor. According to legend, Guru Rinpoche flew here on the back of a tigress and meditated in a cave to tame local demons — giving the site its name. The hike is moderate, takes most travellers 4–5 hours round trip, and rewards you with one of the most breathtaking views in the Himalayas. Our guides schedule this hike with proper acclimatisation in mind, so you're ready for it rather than rushed into it.
