This print showcases the enchanting town of Paro, which proudly holds the title of Bhutan's second largest town. Nestled in the picturesque Paro valley, this ancient settlement lies a mere 20 kilometers away from the Tibetan border.

The image captures the essence of Paro's rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted traditions. The shops lining its streets are brimming with vibrant colors and bustling activity, offering a glimpse into the local way of life. This fertile valley is not only known for its thriving agriculture but also revered as a sacred pilgrimage site within Buddhism.
