Paro is the valley town that serves as Bhutan's only international airport (PBH) — your country entry-point and the base for the Tiger's Nest monastery (Taktsang) day-hike, one of Buddhism's most photographed sites. Paro Dzong, the Paro Chu river, and the small Sunday market are the cultural anchors; the town itself is small (15,000 people) and walkable. Bhutan's tourism policy charges a USD 100/day Sustainable Development Fee for most foreign visitors, which prices out long-stay nomads — most realistic stays are 1-2 weeks. There's no nomad visa; this is destination tourism. Internet (Bhutan Telecom) works in modern hotels and a few cafes; expect 20-50 Mbps.
