Paro, Bhutan

On the next day we moved to Paro - the city where the only international airport is located. We visited Rinpung Dzong and the oldest monastery in Bhutan.

Our hotel was located right in front of the airport. The flight schedule wasn't very busy and we didn't see a single take-off or landing

Rinpung Dzong - a buddhist monastery, fortress and an administrative center of Paro District.

There is a Queen's residence not far away from the dzong.

Kyichu Lhakhang is on of the oldest temples in Bhutan, originally built in the 7th century by the Tibetan Emperor Songtsän Gampo. It is considered to be one of the four border taming temples he built.

There is a belief that the two orange trees in the courtyard of Kyichu Lhakhang bear fruit throughout the year.

On the next day we visited again and this time the sky was clear
