When you arrive at Paro International Airport, our tranquil splendor from Bhutan will greet you.

Then what could be better than having a traditional Bhutanese lunch at a nearby restaurant while you wait for your body to adjust? 

If you reach Thimphu early, for more amazing city views, check out the Buddha Dordenma Monument and the Motithang Takin Preserve. One of the biggest statues in the world is the Buddha Dordenma. You can have an expansive view of the entire city from this spot.
