My final destination in Bhutan was Paro. It’s the place where I landed only 10 days earlier and supposedly one of the most beautiful towns in Bhutan. I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Like Punakha, Paro is in the middle of rice fields. Paro itself has only a couple of streets. I’m always impressed by how tiny Bhutanese towns are, but then I am reminded that Bhutan has only a population of 800,000 people. You could visit Paro within a few hours, most places being either hotels, souvenir shops or restaurants. It’s the place where every Bhutan tour starts or ends, so there are perhaps more tourists than locals in Paro.
