On arrival to Paro international airport, your visa will be stamped. After clearing customs and immigration, you will be met by your guide representing Triple-Wings Tours and Travels. Paro is at an altitude of 2300 meters above the sea level, and serves as a spot for rice growing. The town center, built in 1985 is quite new and the main street is parallel to the Paro River. This morning/afternoon, you will visit the Ta Dzong, a circular fortress that once in 17th century protected the valley from the Tibetan Invaders. Currently this old watchtower is being used as National Museum and is filled with beautiful collections of antiquities. Most of the displays are religious collections, paintings, statues, and traditional arts and crafts, but more importantly you will have an initial sense of Bhutan’s history and culture by visiting the museum.
