We are located near several key attractions in Paro, such as the famous Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest) and Rinpung Dzong. The area is also a starting point for some trekking routes, offering access to Bhutan’s beautiful mountainous terrain. The village provides a tranquil atmosphere and offers insight into Bhutan’s rural lifestyle, with stunning views of the surrounding valleys and mountains.

Paro Valley: A fertile valley that offers scenic views of rice paddies, hills, and traditional Bhutanese farmhouses. It’s great for trekking and exploring rural life.
Drukgyel Dzong: A ruined fortress that once defended Bhutan against Tibetan invasions. It’s a historical site with panoramic views of Mount Jomolhari on clear days.
