Paro District, Administrative district in western Bhutan.
The Paro District spans 1,293 square kilometers at an elevation of 2,250 meters, encompassing ten rural administrative regions called gewogs within the Himalayas.
The district contains numerous religious structures from different periods, including the Rinpung Dzong fortress and the Taktsang Monastery built in the 17th century.
Each spring, the Paro Tsechu festival brings together residents who perform traditional masked dances and ceremonies in the district's monasteries.
Paro International Airport, with its 1,960-meter runway surrounded by mountains, serves as the primary gateway for international travelers entering Bhutan.
The agricultural sector of Paro District produces red rice in terraced fields using traditional irrigation systems dating back several centuries.
