One of the Most Challenging Airports in the World

Some say that Paro International Airport in a deep valley by the river Paro Chhu is among the most dangerous airports in the world. With surrounding peaks as high as 5,500 metres (18,000 ft), Paro International Airport is definitely one of the world's most challenging airports. Our landing at this Bhutanese airport does appear scary. Watch the video and decide for yourself whether this is indeed a dangerous airport to land. Our flight from Bangkok is with Druk Air, also known as Royal Bhutan Airlines aboard an Airbus A319-100 with specially trained and certified pilots at the control.
