Upon arrival in Paro International Airport, please have your visa ready with your passport. After immigration and customs, exit the airport and you will be greeted by your guide and driver.

We will take approximately an hour drive to the Capital, Thimphu. On the way we will pause to cross the beautiful Paro Chhu (Paro river) on a very old but sturdy iron chain bridge near Tachog Lhakhang.
