Airport is small compared to other high traffic major airports in the world but no one can match the aesthetic of Paro international airport. Placed in the middle of two hills, it makes a grate urban landscape. It feels like an upmarket boutique than a busy airport. It truly reflects Bhutanese culture and architecture in both exterior design and interior. Check in process, immigration and boarding is as smooth as it can be. All the staff members as helpful and polite.

Paro Airport feels more like a boutique gateway than a busy hub. It’s small, beautifully designed, and reflects Bhutanese architecture from the moment you step off the plane—many people start taking photos right on the tarmac. The warm wooden details and traditional touches immediately set the mood for the country. Arrival is smooth and efficient, with fast immigration and baggage handling. On departure, the transit area is basic but has everything you need: a few cafés, snacks, and small souvenir shops where you can pick up last-minute gifts.

Amazing airport. They allow passenger to take picture after getting out of airport. You can also go to the view point from paro town to see flight take off and landing. BTW there is no lounge service only paid and for business class. But duty free they have cheap liquor shops.

The Paro international airport in Bhutan is really stunning. The architecture follows the same as the monasteries and housing in Bhutan. The airport is really clean, well laid out and while only small is super efficient and gets you through on time.
