Located in the midst of these wonders is your very own little utopia- the Dechen Hill Resort at Paro. The resort, undeniably one of the finest in Bhutan is built on the top of a hillock surrounded by serene silence. It is only 6 kms from Paro Airport and 1.5 kms from Paro town. Incepted in 1984, this is the first private property in Bhutan to come up in the service industry after Olathang Hotel, which was regulated by the Government of Bhutan until (1999). Dechen Hill Resort is the first cottage house in Paro. Initially named as Dechen Cottages, the resort eventually gained popularity among tourists, particularly among foreigners. With time, the little resort expanded itself to reach their services to more and more visitors and was renamed Dechen Hill Resort in the year 2002.
