It truly is one of the ‘most challenging’ flights in the world. To put it simply, what makes it a challenge to fly into Paro is mainly due to the rough terrain that surrounds the Paro International Airport. The mountains can be as high as 18,000 ft. In contrast, the airport lies at an elevation of 7,364 ft. Technically, this affects and restricts the performance of the airplane.
