The river is in the middle of the town and offers many good positions for birdwatching, but is full of garbage.

Paro River has clean running water and at some point, people can climb down the road and touch the water.

Lovely river flowing through the valleys. Hydroelectric plants on each end. Bhutan sells the electricity to India!

"Paro Chhu" in Bhutan means "Paro River". It is one of the biggest river in Bhutan and it is flowing in Western Part of Bhutan. Paro town is situated on the banks of this river. Hydro electric power is generated from this river.

Hello, what taxi services are in Pro, Thimpu ... like UBER in India, Vietnam etc?
Can I go to the river via public transport, how?
do we have an option for water sports like rafting?
do we get pubs nearby the river?
how safe to go in night?

Private Taxi services in either Thimpu or Paro are plenty and their number plates starts with BP. The rates are uniform as its controlled by the authorities. I am not very much sure about the river rafting in Paro river. As regards the pubs there are plenty in both of the places and most of them gets closed by 9PM. Overall Bhutan is one of the safest country for all tourists as their crime rate is absolutely nominal.
