10 Unforgettable Places to Visit in Paro, Bhutan's Cultural Heart

Walking through Paro feels like stepping into a storybook! We were amazed by this gem among the places to visit in Bhutan. The Tiger's Nest Monastery will make you stop and stare – it sits on a cliff edge that looks too steep to climb, but trust us, the hike up is worth it for views you'll never forget.

At Paro Dzong, we watched monks in bright red robes saying prayers inside huge fortress walls – it gave us chills! The weekend market is full of life! Sellers call out to shoppers, sweet-smelling incense fills the air, and the handmade crafts are so pretty we had to buy some.

Our best find was the old Kyichu Lhakhang temple at sunset. Old folks walked around it, slowly turning prayer wheels, looking happy in the warm golden light. These special moments make places to visit in Paro truly special. Take a look at our Bhutan Tour Packages to see all these wonderful sights without missing anything!
