When to go
How to reach
For people visiting Paro, it is either the first destination or the last destination because it lies sideways from the other destinations.The dzong is built on a steep hillside, and the front courtyard of the administrative section is 6m higher than the courtyard of the monastic portion. A road climbs the hill to the dzong's northern entrance, which leads into the dochey (courtyard) on the 3rd store.
