The flight from Kathmandu, Nepal, to Paro, Bhutan, has to be one of the more spectacular flights in the world. I got lucky and got a window seat on the left (north) side, and so had a view of the Great Himalayas the entire trip.

Landing in Paro is "interesting". This narrow valley is the only location in Bhutan capable of landing a jet, and all international flights land here. The approach follows the winding valley, and only a handful of pilots are certified for this airport. I would not want to come here in anything less than perfect weather!
