It was time again for me and @CuzDawg3 to have our weekly bit of bad behavior in bad weather. I was ready a bit before he was and decided it would be a good idea to fly from VE44 (IIRC) to VQPR Paro using the RNAV 15 X approach. It was a short trip (only about 50 miles) but the departure field is near sea level, Paro is 7333’, and there are mountains twice that tall in between. CuzDawg3 soon joined me en route.
It was a beautiful day down below but as we scaled the mountains, we found the clouds.
In fact, pretty much all of Bhutan seemed to be completely socked in. But strangely, the OAT was well above freezing (never know what you’ll get with Live Weather), so we just flew through it.
I didn’t have the actual approach plate so had no idea what altitudes I needed at the many waypoints, just guestimated with synthetic vision. This particular approach brings you in a big semi-circle over all the mountain peaks west and north of Paro, overflies Paro itself, then does a hairpin turn back to land. Looks like something I’d have designed 
Didn’t get to enjoy the scenery, however, due to all the cumulo-granitus.
Anyway, Cuzdawg3 did the approach pretty much spot on and landed on the 1st attempt. I, however, was too cautious in my descent so was still a couple thousand feet above the threshold. Thus, I did an improvised missed approach, flying up the valley some more, then turning around and coming back. All this, of course, was illegally using nothing but synthetic vision right down to the flare
Then I felt the wheels touch and looked out the window to see this:
So I guess it worked well enough. But buildings don’t show up so well on synthetic vision so we nearly taxied into the terminal 
Anyway, it seems Paro is totally doable with zero visibility and zero ceiling. Maybe they should modify the landing challenge to suit?
