This helicopter tour using a 6-seater single engine Airbus H130 in the beautiful kingdom of Bhutan is filled with magnificent mountain scenery as well as a variety of landscapes which boasts of a wide array of flora and fauna along with views of some incredible architecture. The flight takes off from the Paro airport and takes you to some of the most iconic places around Paro before heading towards Mount Jomolhari which is also the source of the Paro Chu or the Paro River.

The tour will start from Paro airport with a flight over the Paro valley which is one of the widest valleys in the Kingdom of Bhutan. This picturesque valley is covered in fertile rice fields and has the beautiful Paro River meandering down through the valley.
