Paro International Airport

Fortified with high rising mountain peaks that reaches up to 18,000ft above the sea level, the Paro International Airport boasts of being the only international airport in Bhutan. Located along the banks of the gushing Paro Chhu River, this airport is also touted as one of the most challenging airports in the world. Despite of this, the airport hosts a large number of national as well as international visitors every year.

Thus, only a few selected pilots are allowed to take off or land at the Paro International Airport. With a single runway that measures around 1,964m, the airport offers direct as well as connecting flights to countries like India, Bangladesh, Singapore, Thailand, and Nepal. From India, one can take flights to Paro International Airport from Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata, Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati (Assam), Bodhgaya Airport in Gaya (Bihar), and Bagdogra Airport in Siliguri (West Bengal).
