Paro Airport

Bhutan / Paro / Tshongdue /
 international airport  Add category
It's the main airport in Bhutan and hub of the bhutanese national airline, Druk Air.

Surrounded by towering Himalayan peaks, Paro is one of the world's most challenging airports for pilots.
In fact, currently only eight pilots in the world to be certified to be able to land at this airport.
Situated in a deep valley, landed at this airport requires pilots 'negotiating' with a series of mountain, go down quickly, then turned steeply to the left immediately before landing.
