A serene valley of apple orchards and rice fields, watched over by the cliffside Tiger's Nest monastery.
Paro sits in a wide, fertile valley in western Bhutan, its rice paddies and apple orchards framed by pine-forested hills. It is home to Bhutan's only international airport, making it most travellers' first and last stop, and to the country's most iconic sight — Paro Taktsang, the Tiger's Nest monastery, which clings to a granite cliff face some 900 metres above the valley floor.
