Sightseeing·2 stops·Thimphu

Paro International Airport

Why we include it · One of the most demanding commercial approaches anywhere — the aircraft threads between mountains on manual descent. Only a handful of pilots are certified for it.

Good to know · Sit on the left flying in for the best mountain views.

Drive to Thimphu (2,286 m)

Why we include it · The road follows the river the whole way, and it is the first real sense of the country's scale.

Good to know · Roughly 1.5 hours from Paro. Winding — sit forward if you are prone to motion sickness.
