Paro Airport – Small, Scenic & Full of Character

Paro Airport felt more like a cultural gateway than a typical airport. It’s small and cozy, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in rich Bhutanese character. The terminal is adorned with vibrant murals and traditional paintings — from lotus motifs to scenes from Buddhist mythology — turning even a quick walk through the building into a mini art experience. The walls are also decorated with portraits of Bhutan’s beloved royal family, adding a warm, personal touch that reflects the country’s deep respect for its monarchy. It’s not just an airport — it’s a taste of Bhutan’s heritage, served with quiet elegance and a lot of heart.
