Premium nature.
Traditional Bhutanese rustic character.
The Himalayan Reset is not about polished hotel extravagance. Its premium quality comes from Paro's river, mountain air, mature trees, open gardens, privacy and stillness. The resort complements this setting with comfortable accommodation and a warm, traditional Bhutanese rustic look.

The journey to Paro
is simpler than it feels.
For The Himalayan Reset, flying directly into Paro is the most convenient option. We will guide confirmed guests on the best arrival window so the journey feels considered from the very beginning.
Fly to Paro
Direct services connect Paro with Indian gateways including Kolkata, New Delhi, Bagdogra and Guwahati. Guests travelling from other Indian cities can connect through one of these gateways.
Connect through Asia
International guests can reach Paro through gateways such as Kathmandu, Bangkok, Singapore and Dhaka, depending on the operating schedule.
Rail to North Bengal
Book an Indian Railways train to Hasimara or New Alipurduar, continue by road to Jaigaon–Phuentsholing, and then travel onward to Paro. This is a longer journey, so allow an additional travel day.
