The beautiful Paro valley encompasses a rich culture, scenic beauty and hundreds of myths and legends. It is home to many of Bhutan’s oldest temples and monasteries, the country’s only airport, and the National Museum. At 7,300-metres-high, Mount Chomolhari reigns in white glory at the northern end of the valley, its glacial waters plunging through deep gorges to form the Pa Chu (Paro river). The Paro valley is one of the Kingdom’s most fertile regions, producing the bulk of Bhutan’s famous red rice from its terraced fields.
