Landing In Paro, Bhutan

Description:Do you see that hill beyond the airport of Paro, Bhutan?

That’s the main way into Bhutan for anyone traveling by air.

It makes for an interesting landing as on final approach, your gliding airplane needs to make a quick bank over that hill to line up with the runway.

This is after a glorious descent through the surrounding mountains.

It’s a slightly thrilling approach and gets your excitement up for an adventure in Bhutan!
