Ancient religious buildings, terraced fields, and traditional homes are scattered throughout the countryside as the Paro River (Paro Chhu) meanders through it. The famous Tiger's Nest Monastery, also known as Paro Taktsang, which is perched on a cliff, is the valley's main attraction among tourists. Rinpung Dzong is another major attraction, a fortress-monastery that is a notable example of Bhutanese architecture and the administrative hub of the valley.

To get a sense of Bhutan's rich history, visitors can also tour the Folk Heritage Museum, the weekend Centenary Farmers' Market, and other traditional artisan shops.

Phobjikha Valley

Popularly known as Gangtey Valley, Phobjikha Valley is a breathtaking glacier valley located on the central part of the Himalayan Kingdom. A U-shaped valley that has been classified as a conservation area, the place is home to some of the largest wildlife in the country.

Punakha

The former capital of Bhutan, Punakha is a historically significant and breathtakingly beautiful location.
