Carpeted with lush vegetation and jeweled with countless religious sites, including Paro Dzong, Ta Dzong, Kyichu Lhakhang, and Drukgyel Dzong, Paro is often revered as the "Last Shangri-La" on earth. On the cliffs of the valley where Paro is located lies the Paro Taktsang, also known as "Tiger's Nest," which is a must-visit on a Bhutan tour. You might often see its pictures in your social media feed, as it's one of the most iconic landmarks to explore in Bhutan. Its construction can be dated back to the end of the 17th century. For ages, the complex still perched on the cliff, looking down on the Paro, 900 meters above the ground.
As Bhutan's capital, Thimphu offers a mix of historic sights and local traditions.
