Paro District is the name of
a district, valley, river and town (population 20,000). It is one
of the most historic valleys in Bhutan. Both trade goods and
invading Tibetans came over the pass at the head of the valley,
giving Paro the closest cultural connection with Tibet of any
Bhutanese district. The dominant language in Paro is Dzongkha,
the national language. Paro contains the only active
international airport in Bhutan, the Paro Airport, a beautiful
small green-roofed facility in a valley, served only by Drukair.
