The World's Most Dangerous Approach - Paro, Bhutan

- Join me on a flight with Bhutan Airlines (Tashi Air) A319 from Kathmandu to Paro, Bhutan. Paro Airport is situated in between mountains and valleys at 7,332 ft above sea level. The approach is well considered as one of the most dangerous and most spectacular in the world. Check out the amazing landing footage.
In addition, the flight also flew across many top 10 mountains in the world include Mt Everest.
-------
Join us for a spectacular and thrilling, up close, documentary look at the world’s most dangerous airport landing at Paro airport in Bhutan. Make sure you watch all the way to the end of the video to catch the sped up, bird’s eye view of the fabulous and graceful twisting and turning of the aeroplane on its approach to the landing strip of Paro airport, the sole international airport of Bhutan located six kilometres from Paro in a very deep valley on the bank of the river Paro Chhu, and how the runway suddenly appears from nowhere. It takes a real aviation expert and a very steady hand to make a safe landing at Paro airport!
In this video, we fly from Kathmandu airport in Nepal to Paro airport in Bhutan using Bhutan airlines. After a brief look inside Kathmandu airport’s executive airport lounge, we board our flight and meet the chief pilot of Bhutan airlines - we’re in safe hands; only a handful of trained captains are qualified and certified to land at Paro airport and it takes a minimum of eight to ten years of intensive training to become a captain.
We examine the runway at Kathmandu airport which is very bumpy and, interestingly, has no taxiways to the main runway, necessitating the use of some tricky manoeuvres and, needless to say, keen attention paid to air traffic control.
The flight is only forty minutes long but the flight is still packed with events and sights. In the video, we see most of the top ten highest mountains in the world within the Himalayas including Mount Makalu, Mount Lhotse and the tallest of all, Mount Everest. We also see the mountains of Bhutan within the Himalayan mountain range including Jomolhari and Jitchu Drake. The pictures of the snow capped mountains of the Himalayas are breath taking and we hear the captain’s opinions of why he thinks there is less snow now than there was in previous years.
We also enjoy lunch with champagne on board and we enjoy sharing a specially made cake with the Bhutan airlines crew to celebrate our travelling with them to the legendary Paro airport of Bhutan.
Paro airport is surrounded by mountains as high as 5500 metres and only has a single runway of length 1964 metres. Its single terminal was constructed in 1999 and it is a hub for two airlines: Bhutan airlines and Druk Air. Paro airport is such a difficult airport to land in that it can only be used in visual meteorological conditions and operational hours are restricted to daylight hours between sunrise and sunset.
You really won’t want to miss this video focusing on the world’s most challenging airport to land at. Let us know in the comments what you thought of the scenery and the whole experience and, as always, thanks for watching!
Captain Badass is hand flying, on a descent path, curving through the mountains while pointing at all the monasteries like he's a tour guide. What a legend.
Me flying this route in MSFS: visible shaking that even the controller vibration feels like nothing
@@iZ3C0LD7 that’s exactly what I was thinking, like I always crash or hit the runway hard af
I.love Bhutan .It's location is beautiful.
the same answer I was asking for: WTF are this pilot doing!
I was terrified by this pilot
amazing, you can tell the captain is really passionate and proud of his country when he is explaining all the landmarks
Thank you Sam for the amazing video and the discussions with Captain Chenga and his team. Captain Chenga is a legend. Very knowledgeable and the experience he showed in getting the plane to Paro was remarkable. Captain is the Tourism Ambassador of Bhutan. Thank you.
@@dharthingo3514 he is a great pilot, with amazing skills😎👍
Pretty legit skills
that was incredible piloting. thank you for sharing

Love this captain. Turns off GPWS, prays, and then starts hand flying through a canyon while pointing out the sights.
What an amazing guy.
I don't want to fly with anyone who disables GPWS in that kind of terrain.
@@mnpd3 This is standard procedure. If the GPWS would be enabled, they would get constant warnings which would increase the stress levels.
Religion is a complete and utter Delusion.
@@xsaiN2k9 Exactly. Going for that serene Microsoft Flight Simulator Experience for the landing.
@@mnpd3 Yes, because you would definitely know how to approach that situation better than a pilot who has done that particular route for at least 10 years - minimum.
I absolutely love watching talented pilots performing a highly technical approach and landing. His stick and rudder flying was so smooth and precise it looked like a well choreographed dance... True high quality airmanship here folks!
No sweat in ideal weather.
I am a Bhutanese.
It's a very honourable thing having such a talented pilot like captain Chenga in our country.
His friendly attitudes are the warmest welcomes to those who visit our country.
And special thanks to Mr Sam Chui who represented our country's footage in his channel.
Sunita Pradhan sounds like propaganda ngl
bhutanmaa poni newar??????
I can't believe you can fly there, what an amazing ride. May God Bless Bhutan, and long keep you free, and independent. ❤
Nice place at least clean air than a big city :)
Superb
The Pilot is one of the best and most friendly ☺️☺️☺️
AKIN OK...pin...
Agree. His commentary is excellent. I think him so much for making a good presentation of the flight for many of us to enjoy!
you're right. very skilled, and very humble.
AKIN this video is a real treat because few westerners get to make a trip like this.
AKIN has no other choice
Not just a great pilot, but a damn good tourist guide as well. He knows all the best landmarks throughout the trip.
In fact, he ought to broadcast to the passengers throughout the flight. He'd be super popular.
And what a spectacular approach to a runway. Yahoo.
That is the most stable unstabilised approach I ever saw. Awesome!
Huge respects to Captain Chenga!
He knows each of mountains from Nepal with their height! Such a knowledgeable and friendly professional pilot!
Definitely huge respect to him. But i think if you got the honor to be allowed to fly through this area and land there, then it is probably a pleasure to know all the mountains with their height:).
Amazing views that airliners have; from the ground, Everest is seemingly always covered by clouds.
@@culcune There is always that plume of snow being blown off Everest, every time I have seen it, from the ground and air.
That shot of mt Everest was legendary
Agreed, an absolutely beautiful once in a lifetime view..
@@rjclarkeePincadeRebel yes I love this landscape
Amazing...thanks Sam chui fir the video...really enjoyed ur flight video
rapaelll i couldn’t agree more
Yes that was beautiful.
I'm an aviation enthusiast and this has become my favourite video. Imagine seeing Everest from an aircraft. Brilliant flight and cabin crew.
There are quite a few other videos on YT that show Everest from the air even better, but this is the best for the landing at Paro.
@@davidmarshall718 Thank you David and apologies for my late reply.
I was flying from Copenhagen to Bangkok, window seat , left side. I happen to have my SLR camera with telephoto lens in the cabin with me. I looked out when we were over northern India and saw what looked like clouds in the distance but then I realised they were mountains. One recognisable shape came into view which was clearly higher than the others. The flight map confirmed that it was Everest. So I have a photo of the summit of Everest taken from complete comfort. I use it as my screensaver. The Earth is so beautiful from the air.
I saw MT Everest on a flight from Dubai to Dhaka (we were already starting approach into Dhaka, so we weren't very high). I was lucky and sitting on 1A, so I got unobstracted view of it. It was a true experience!
You get a feel for how high Mt Everest is when in a jet your looking up at it 😳
Ewe rite, Anne eye no ewe knot gnu hear.
It's not a jet and your spelling is bad.

Dont worry thats just a tradition 🙏🙏
He is not praying for help 😂😂😂
"World's most dangerous approach"

Hats off to the captain. There's no replacement for skill and experience.
Actually non-steril cockpit and all that though.
@@justmoritz The Captain's mind, heart and character are sterile, plus he has 500 monks watching over him and his plane :)

@@justmoritz Lol dudeee since when pilots are doctors?
How often do you find a master pilot and a knowledgeable tour guide in one!! This was the absolute best!
With 16M views and almost 13k comments appreciating the content and also the fact that there is not even a hint of hatred in the comment section speaks volumes, Proud to be a Bhutanese
Most airfields have ILS - Instrument landing system to navigate through approach pattern... Paro in Bhutan has MLS - Monasteries Landing System to keep planes on proper approach track.
PoorHootz haha nice
Ah ah ! :-) But maybe you know that MLS also exist :-)
MLS is a microwave landing system its like a portable ILS
Maxime Poriel i know that bro chill
Best comment ever Lmao.
The captain is the sweetest and the most humble man! What an amazing man!
So true
Come to Bhutan, we have 700,000s of them.
@@kinleygyeltshen5086 I surely will..lots of love from India...
Really
So True
Fun fact :-
Only 10 pilots from the world have licence to landing in Paro.
Now u can imagine how much tough and dangerous too at same time.
Wht kind skill, experience and ball of steel u need!!
Hats off to pilot 🙌✈️👨✈️
its 15 actually not tryna be mean 😅😅
@@NimPlaysRobloxits actually 23
Wonder if anyone lands there at night or during difficult wind conditions.
Took this trip about 15 years ago…the most beautiful amazing country in the world….this flight was amazing and our pilot pointed out Mt Everest as we passed it….so grateful to Bhutan and it’s people
I worked with a guy from there. He said they eat aloy of Currys
Mount Everest is in Nepal, how come you saw it from Bhutan ? No flights goes to Bhutan using Nepal’s air route ! You might have seen different mountain
@@sagaradhikari7906 Actually I flew from Kathmandu to Bhutan and we passed Mt Everest en route
This entire video is of flight from Kathmandu to Paro… which video were you watching 🤷♂️🤷♂️?
@@SuperAlpha74 ..perhaps not a super alpha after all😅😅😅this video shows the approach ..I was on the plane for the entire trip🤣🤣🤣🤣
Captain: You can see there are a lot of monasteries here. Look, another one!
Sweating cameraman: Can you please just focus?
Hahaha.. Exactly.. He didn't say anything at that point.. 😂 😂
I was thinking the same thing. Like ok sir, I don’t want to get in your way please focus on the landing.
Cameraman: Stop talking about God and Monasteries ! You just prayed for landing! You are the pilot ! BRACE BRACE BRACE !
"That's the monastery that will handle our funerals if we crash."

Well experienced pilot,, hats off too him and its credibility.
After seeing so many air crash investigation videos, I kept on thinking they're gonna crash !!!

Jean-Paul van Ewijk lol😂 a good one. Cheer!🙂
I've taken this flight from Delhi, and didn't realize how scary it really was, until they took us to a hilltop and let us watch other planes landing in Paro. amazing!
What an amazing approach. The Captain negotiated that approach like it was second nature for him. Cool, calm and professional. Very beautiful plane, inside and out, flight attendants, and airport. WOW
This is probably most beautiful, most interesting video in Aviation History. Special mention for the Pilot for his amazing skills & humility. You made Bhutan so proud.
Amit Sharma well said
amazing video. I watched it twice, and i am not a piolet or have any interest. its just an amazing approach to that airport

Thanks you. Its me from Bhutan

We always think India and Bhutan were best friends forever
There is no end for this like universe
Love from INDIA
Not only an amazing flight, really though brought a tear to my eye of how amazingly kind the people where, flight crew, the pilot, truly an adventure to remember
I've just come back to this superb upload in April 2022, and so glad I did. The visuals and informative commentary en route are excellent - 5 of the 6 tallest peaks on our planet is hard to beat! The entire crew are kind, generous, knowledgeable and professional - kudos to Bhutan Airlines, you do your nation proud and I can think of some national carriers that could learn from this upload. But at the end of the day it is the Chief Pilot, Captain Chenga, that makes this cockpit experience so memorable. He is, as other commenters have said, a total "badass pilot". His knowledge of local landmarks to the metre, the ease with which he navigates that incredible approach - entirely visual - and his total professionalism entwined gentle humility is second to none.
Via this niche selection of cockpit movies, I have seen countless landings at amazing locations. Captain Chenga is one of the best pilots in the world.
Respect and best wishes. 🙏
AMAZING video 🙏
Beautiful 🙏
I just love this captain. You can see the delight he feels talking about and showing us the various mountains and monastries. He is just awesome
he advertise better for Nepal 😂 Visit Nepal 2020🖒
You can tell how much the captain loves his job. That guy is an amazing representative for his airline and nation.
Real true brother
allowing irrelevant personnel into the cockpit is not amazing representation of airlines. Imagine flying airliners where passengers are allowed into cockpit. U d be scared to death for you never now who just got in.
@@forgetmenots3474 Sounds like: Sam: "Knock, Knock." Captain: "Who is there?" - Sam: "I am a UA-camr, I just stick some cams into the cockpit and take the jump-seat." Captain: "Ok". And they always have cake prepared for such case. :-D
Don't worry, this doesn't work like that. As you might figure, you need to be checked and authorized by the >>airline
forgetme nots idiot , there are special cases under special permission you let. It was not captains decision, it was a pre approved decision by big bosses of the airline. This dude even had access to cockpit of Qantas.
Mellow Monsoon hey good information provided but, as you might know. some of this assholes will
Never understand the procedures required to have access to such privilege. Obviously this guy is recognised as well all over the Internet as a UA-camr or a public figure in his country.
I have flown to Paro many times on my B-737-800 simulator and the most difficult landing is flying past RW 33 and then circling clockwise
to RW 15. That is truly the most difficult landing in a large commercial jet. This video shows landing to RW 33 without a circling. Great video!!!!
A thrilling, beautiful experience. My father had surveyed Bhutan during his service in Survey of India several decades ago and his team was a guest of honour of His Excellency the then King of Bhutan.

Videos like this are so important. The relationship you have developed within the industry for an airline and its pilots to enable you to share this with us is great. Thanks to Bhutan Airlines for giving us this view.
agreed ! absolutely amazing view and makes me wish to visit Bhutan one of these days ! ... totally love this clip !
7:22 this is one of the best best views I have ever seen to understand how big Mt Everest is, it towers above even the highest clouds.
Sam: I cannot tell you how many times I've watched this video episode since subscribing to your amazing channel. Prolly going on 200 times now as of 8 July 2023. The Bhutani people are so sincerely warm, peace-inspiring, and so gracefully hospitable. I love that Capt. Chenga says his Buddhist prayer during the flight just prior to landing, much like asking permission to safely land back onto sacred Himalayan terra firma. Thank you for this episode. It is probably my favorite of all you have presented. :-)
My favourite episode too
Hats off to that pilot. Very professional. Just remember: he does this every day like it's nothing. That is a lot of skill and responsibility!
Lash LaRue well said
apart from really bad cockpit skills.
Jeff Vader what do you mean?
@@postingbmwm3 no sterile cockpit, being a travel guide rather than focusing on the approach to a very difficult airport, you know all the things that get picked apart in one of those airline disaster shows.
@@grant575mixmaster LMOA. No sterile cockpit, being a travel guide? He practiced that approach for years. He can practically fly it with his eyes closed on muscle memory alone I bet. Notice how the entire approach is manually flown. He knows what he is doing and is passionate about showing Sam the beauty of bhutan.
Note to myself: Remember to visit this airport in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
Damn!!!!!!
@@prajwal_747 Yo
hell yeah!!
Didn't you read? You have to be a Captain for ten years before you can land there. Even in MSFS2020😆👍🤔
its one of the hand crafted ones too
Nepal... and Bhutan.... People's.... Are very brave on wheels..... They are our best neighbour's,..... From, INDIA.... NAMASTE.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
Great flight from Capt. Chenga and his co pilot! The view of the mountains and Mt. Everest is spectacular! Kudos to the crew.
Sam, you had the best seat on the plane! Enjoy Bhutan! Thank you for sharing your experience!
I was very lucky and really wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to document the whole flight.
While not a comfortable seat nor place on a plane, I agree this being the best seat having experienced the same. The landing part is just amazing! Thank you Mr. Sam!
The captain exudes confidence, knowledge, ability, and humility. I immediately felt relaxed watching the video and would place my family lives in this man's hands. The brief prayer is a touch. Best of luck Captain Chenga.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Humility is the greatest virtue. A salute to Capt. Chenga, Sir!
I too felt relax and I enjoyed watching the video
He has perfected it from years of fatal crashes but I take your point
Lot of Respect Captain 🙏
Always do what u love and the things u r passionate about..just like sam and the chief captain..♥️🇵🇭
Wow, I got chills when he turned off the GPWS and began that crazy technical approach. More chills when the runway came into view and I realized how uniquely difficult such a short, winding approach through mountainous terrain truly is. I fly the A320N and A346 in X-Plane, and I would never consider myself experienced or able to fly IRL, but flying an airbus by hand through this approach is absolutely a rare skill to master, especially with such a calm and clear headed demeanor. Hats off to Captain Chenga and his crew at Bhutan airlines. These pilots are one of a kind and I would be honored to fly aboard one of Captain Chengas flights into this amazing landscape.
10:52 when Captain prays before starting the approach.....you know it's a difficult airport
Or the emperors final call... XD
**Butaniees are always very spiritual**.Beautiful country and buatifull people. Love from India.
femanvate
There are a lot of monastery’s and since he’s a Buddhist he’s praying before reading there.
Can't hurt have a problem in those mountains no where to set it down except in at he airport
🥺
As an Airbus pilot myself, I thought real flying was long gone.
Thank you for proving me wrong!
Larry Gonzalez what plane do you fly?
ColtDeltaElite10mm Flightsim much?
@M Ali a*, know*
well it's gone for you...you will never do this approach man ;) I fly biz jet anywhere, and I love it. no thks for airbus...

Sam I appreciate your politeness and positivity that you make certain to put forward. I’m sure you also have had bad days. Your content is a wonderful shared journey, but also a kind view into your active decision to practice, kindness.
No bad vibes allowed!
I appreciate you and hope meet some day in person.
That’s amazing! What skilled flying.
Pilot: One monastery here, another there....meanwhile Sam thinking: please concentrate on landing I don't want to end up in mountain top. :)

@@fahrenheitfahrenheit2799 I don't think they allow flights in bad weather

Have seen this video a few times before, each time I enjoy watching. Thanks to Cpt Chenga, his description of the terrain and beautiful way of piloting makes all the difference. Compliments to the entire crew and the scenic country.
Appreciatin' all the great pilots out there ! Appreciatin' all the works and dedication for aviation, it's never an easy job.. Salute !
Dear Sir, I appreciate the beautiful and enchanting video regarding the challenging flight from Kathmandu to Paro Airport. I am B K Srivastava, a former official from the Airports Authority of India and presently working as an Aviation Consultant in New Delhi. In this context, I would like to offer one small but very important suggestion. In the sub-titles appearing at time 09:50 onwards, it is mentioned as 'viewer'. The right word is VOR and not 'viewer'. The Captain is repeatedly mentioning the word 'VOR' (VHF Omni Range), which is a Radio Navigational Aid and is used for route guidance for the flights. Incidentally, I had gone to Thimpu and to Paro Airport in 1989-90 to designing the route chart for Paro Airport.
Great information
Sir the word is negligible
Shrivatsava sir, having so many decades of aviation experience is only trying to educate the viewers guys! 👍👍
Use the "report" feature to tag inaccurate captions (you can then specify "inaccurate captions" as a subcause).
I have never seen a more polite comment than yours
The birds eye view at the end really put into perspective how dangerous it was!
I love the capt attire, white shirt and yellow tie that's matching as always.
Wow. no runway visual until last turn and pilot is calmly pointing out scenery ..that's nerves of steel and extreme skills !!!
Blazing through canyons at 1000ft, no airport in sight, and the Capt is pointing out monasteries. That's one cool Cat.
Ikr? As someone who is phobic to flying,I wudnt be found flying into Paro,ever.If I were,I would be sedated and tied to the last seat on the plane to keep everyone else calm 😑.If I were to fly over this terrain conscious,I think I would have to be peeled off the seat upon landing...would be hanging on to seat 😑
@@sadiaadil6423 Showboating
Well said Eva ! It’s like he’s in a blind canyon, under 1000ft, going 200 mph and saying “Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, if you look out the right, you’ll notice the third of five monasteries and then immediately on our left you’ll see monastery four, high on the mountain.....” LOL! 😂🤣 I guess the prayer worked, because he was cool as a cucumber.
My thoughts exactly. As they said, a pilot MUST be Captain with 10 or more years experience or they're not allowed to fly into that airport. Most ecellent and WOW, what a wonderfuly beautiful country. I wish I could visit there and of course I would want no other than Captain Chenga as the pilot of the aircraft I was on.
And that ain't no Cessna ....

Thank you so much Sam. That was like landing at our small town airport up here in the mountains, but in a big plane! Wonderful diplomatic friendliness, building bridges. :)
Pilots must love this.
I know some pilots who fly into DCA regularly, and many of them get a kick out of the windy route near the end that follows the Potomac because you can't fly over DC itself.
This takes that practice to a whole other level.
