About the airport
Paro Airport (PBH/VQPR) is the sole international airport in the enchanting kingdom of Bhutan. Nestled amidst the breathtaking Himalayan mountains, this airport offers a unique and awe-inspiring landing experience. Surrounded by peaks reaching over 5,000 meters, the approach to Paro Airport is considered one of the most challenging in the world, requiring skilled pilots.
Despite its small size, Paro Airport serves as the gateway to Bhutan's rich cultural heritage and natural wonders. It offers limited international connections, primarily to neighboring countries like India, Nepal, Thailand, and Singapore. The airport terminal is modest but efficient, providing essential facilities for travelers.
Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by the warm Bhutanese hospitality and stunning views of the Paro Valley. The airport's location, about 6 kilometers from Paro town, allows for easy access to popular attractions such as the iconic Tiger's Nest Monastery and the historic Paro Dzong.
Travelers planning a trip to Bhutan should note that flights to Paro Airport are subject to weather conditions, and the airport operates during daylight hours only. It is advisable to book flights well in advance due to limited availability.
