One of the most dangerous airports in the world.

Paro Airport in Bhutan is 1.5 miles above sea level and surrounded by sharp peaks of up to 18,000 feet tall.

So treacherous is the landing that only eight pilots in the world are qualified to land there. Until July 2011, just one airline, Druk Air, was allowed to use the facility.

Paro day, one among the most dangerous airports in the world — Paro day
Doug Knuth from Woodstock, IL

The runway is just 6,500 feet long – one of the few in the world shorter than their elevation above sea level.

Planes have to weave through the dozens of houses that are scattered across the mountainside – coming within feet of clipping the roofs.

Strong winds whip through the valleys, often resulting in severe turbulence. Passengers who have been on flights to the airport have described the landing as ‘terrifying’.

Boeing has said that Paro airport is ‘one of the world’s most difficult for take offs and landings’.

Flights are only allowed during the daytime and under visual meteorological conditions – strict light allowances in which the pilot must make his judgements by eye rather than rely on instruments as is the case in nighttime flights.

Despite the perilous conditions, the views over the clear blue waters over the Paro river and the lush green foliage of the Himalayas are breathtaking.

An estimated 30,000 tourists use the airport each year, often for holidays in Bhutan. Yongphulla Airport in Trashigang District is the only other airstrip in the country, which is yet undergoing re-construction.

Buddha Air is the only international airline to use the airport. Anybody flying to Paro must first land in neighbouring countries then catch a connecting flight.

Paro Airport in Bhutan might look beautiful but it is one of the most dangerous airports in the world.

~ Rishabh Sahay

The approach to Paro is unbelievably complicated. It is flown visually through a valley with high mountains all around and no sight of the airport until the last moment..

Approach to runway 15, marked in red, is worse in this regard..

The approach to runway 33, marked in blue, allows a bit more of a straight final, but not by much. In either case the aircraft must emerge from the turn with correct altitude, speed and rate of descent. So the pilot has to know landmarks in the valley and how to judge correct approach profile by them. The approaches also often involve turning around higher in the valleys which again must be done by landmarks at places where it is known to be possible. It is this knowledge pilots have to demonstrate before they can attempt the approach. Pilots have to receive special training to be permitted to fly there .. and only 8 pilots in the world are qualified to get permitted.

So, have you been to the beautiful but one of the most dangerous airports in the world?

Tiger’s Nest in Bhutan

Trekking to the SPECTACULAR Monastery on a Cliff!

Trekking to Tiger’s Nest Monastery in Bhutan (Paro Taktsang in Bhutanese Dzongkha), which sits literally on the edge of a cliff. The hike takes about 3 – 4 hours or so.

The trail, although steep, isn’t really dangerous in any parts, as long as you keep your eye on the trail and don’t try to get too close to the edge. At the top of Tiger’s Nest Monastery they don’t allow any photography, so you have to check in your bag. We walked around the monastery for a little while, ate some snacks, and then headed down.

Despite Tiger’s Nest Monastery in Bhutan being one of the most famous attractions and icons of Bhutan, it really is spectacular.

Round-Trip Taxi from Paro to Tiger’s Nest – 1,400 BTN ($20.99) It’s typically recommended that you visit Tiger’s Nest at the end of your trip to Bhutan so that you acclimatize better to the elevation.

Gangtey Palace Hotel – After returning from Tiger’s Nest, we checked into the classic Gangtey Palace Hotel for our final night in Bhutan!

Ways to Plan a Budget Trip to Bhutan

Travel lovers always remain keen to visit a destination like Bhutan that is bestowed with natural beauty and serenity. Bhutan is a worth-visiting country that’s why people somehow plan the trip even if they have a low budget!

Although visiting Bhutan with a low budget isn’t easy because of the fixed daily tariff that is imposed by the Bhutanese government. Still, you can follow some tips to explore this fascinating land without burdening your pocket. Keep reading to know more:

Visit Bhutan during Lean Season:

The daily tariff rates change as per the season in Bhutan. These rates are comparatively high in peak season months when a high number of tourists visit the country. So, you should avoid planning a trip in that season to save amount. Instead, plan your trip anytime from December to February and from June to August as these months are considered the lean season of visiting Bhutan.

You can save USD 50 per person by doing so because the tariff rates are USD 250 in peak season and USD 200 in the lean season. You can also get discounts on airline tickets, hotel bookings and other expenses in the lean season.

Plan a Group Tour:

Solo trip and couple trips aren’t very budget-friendly in Bhutan. Tourists travelling alone to Bhutan have to pay USD 40 per night in addition to the daily tariff as sub-charge. Couples also have to pay the sub-charge of USD 30 per night/per person.

Travelling in a group can be beneficial as a group of 3 people and above has been exempted from sub-charges. Apart from it, the Bhutanese government also give some relaxations to big groups like:

One person from the group of 11-15 people gets a 50% discount on the daily tariff.
One person from the group of 16 travellers or more gets 100% off on the daily tariff.

Don’t Buy Premium or Luxury Tour Packages:

Many people don’t know, but the minimum daily tariff of Bhutan is included of all the things such as a stay in a 3-star hotel, meals, tour guide, local transportation and entry charges of various tourist attractions.

So, buying a premium tour package, in this case, would only drain your money because you will have to pay tariff plus package charges. These packages would surely enhance the luxury by giving 5-star hotel stay and personal activities, but you can also have fun without these packages in Bhutan.

Visit Royalty Exempted Regions of Bhutan:

Your minimum daily tariff also contains sustainable development fee; which is USD 65. But to promote tourism, the government have exempted this charge on tourists who are only visiting the eastern region of the country. This makes their tariff amount lower than others who will visit the entire country.
