Paro valley is simply beautiful, and if you want to get close to Bhutan, living with a local family is the way to do it. Homestays in Paro are not about having somewhere to sleep - they're about becoming included in somebody's everyday life for a few days.
We've heard so many tales of guests who found themselves assisting their host families with farm chores, being taught to prepare local cuisine, or simply sitting around the campfire swapping stories late into the evening. The families here don't regard you as a guest per se - you become a member of their household for some time.
What is unique about Paro is that you're in the middle of it all. You can wake up in a Bhutanese home and be hiking to the Tiger's Nest monastery within an hour. There are so many places to visit in Bhutan that are within easy reach of homestays, so it's the ideal base.
