Our first and last stops of the day were the Paro Dzong.
Our first and last stops of the day were the Paro Dzong.

| The old watchtower sits above the Paro Dzong (fortress that combines governmental offices and a monastery). |
 |
| The National Museum was located in the old watchtower until an earthquake in 2011 damaged the building and closed it to the public. Most of the museum exhibits have moved across a lane to a nondescript administrative building. The museum had four interesting galleries, but photography is not permitted. |
