Making a Splash in Paro: Water Activities

Paro may be famed for its stunning mountain vistas and ancient monasteries, but don’t let that fool you into thinking there aren’t exciting water activities to enjoy!

The Paro Chhu (River):

• Rafting: Experience the thrill of navigating the rapids on the Paro Chhu. Several local outfitters offer guided rafting trips suitable for various experience levels. Be sure to book in advance, especially during peak season.
• Kayaking: For a more independent adventure, try kayaking down the gentler stretches of the Paro Chhu. Rent kayaks from outfitters in town and enjoy paddling amidst the breathtaking scenery.

Tips:

• Best time to visit: The monsoon season (June-August) brings heavy rainfall, making water levels higher and rapids stronger. If you’re seeking a more adventurous experience, this might be ideal. For calmer waters, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons (spring or autumn).
• Safety first: Always wear a life jacket and listen carefully to instructions from your guides.
• Respect the environment: Pack out all your trash and avoid disturbing wildlife.
