Paro is a village located in Paro District, Nduga Regency, Highland Papua, Indonesia. The village is a site where Nduga hostage crisis took place.
In 2011, Paro was separated from Mapenduma District and joined to a newly established Paro District.[2]
On 7 February 2023, West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB) burned a Pilatus PC-6 (PK-BVY) operated by Susi Air at the airstrip and abducted the pilot.[3] The Indonesian National Armed Forces captured the village and district from TPNPB hands on 13 February 2023.[4] This incident led the residents to take refuge in Kenyam, Timika, and Wamena.[5] As of 16 February 2023, the village was emptied.[6]
The village has one public elementary school.
There is one sub-health center in Paro. A community health center is planned and is currently under construction.[7]
Paro is served by an airstrip.
