At UMA Paro the essence of Bhutanese hospitality, warm smiles and friendly service await you. The kingdom of Bhutan is probably the only protected Himalayan paradise that is still thriving in its natural splendor. The government's policy of limited tourism will ensure the Dragon Kingdom to remain as an exclusive destination for a long time. From the thick alpine forests to the cultured and friendly people, this pristine country exudes the color, life and jest, typified by the yells from the zealous archers. One of the most populated valleys in the country, as well as one of the most renown, Paro offers a delightful array of highlights, as well as a captivating allure steeped in culture and history. The valley in which it resides is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular in all the country; where willow trees and apple orchards line the roads, whitewashed farmhouses and temples complement the green terraced fields and forested hills rise on either side to create a harmonious landscape for all to enjoy. Visit the Ta Dzong, the National Museum of the Kingdom. Originally built as a Watch Tower, since 1967 it has been the National Museum of Bhutan. Here, an intriguing collection of artifacts provide a wonderful introduction to the rich culture and heritage of the Kingdom. Afterwards walk down the trail to visit the massive Rinpung Dzong, a hub for spiritual life and community events, which has a long and fascinating history.
