Travel to Bhutan

Though, the best answer in regard to how to go to Bhutan from India is via boarding a flight. Until 1960-70, it was quite difficult to enter the Kingdom of Bhutan. Transportation facilities were not as well-built as they are now. People were unsure about whether they should travel from India to Bhutan by air, road or rail. However, ease of traveling to Bhutan has increased ever since, owing to its planned economic development.

With its primary international airport, called Paro, the country has a great connectivity with other parts of the world. Indians can hop on flights from New Delhi, Kolkata, Bagdogra, and Guwahati by availing services of Druk Air and Bhutan Airlines for a convenient journey. Moreover, Indian citizens can enter Bhutan without a visa. In fact, it is also not mandatory to have a passport as long as the visitor has a legitimate voter identity card issued by the Election Commission of India. And, as the transportation has got convenient as well, one can cover the India to Bhutan distance of around 2059 kms by road and airways both. One can choose to board a plane or hop on a road ride via Gelephu and Phuentsholing linking with the states of Assam and West Bengal.

Here’s our detailed information about how to reach Bhutan from India via various travel modes.

By Air

Located in Paro district at a height of 7300 ft. above sea level, Paro International Airport is the nearest airport to Bhutan. It is the only airport to enter the country from India by air. Druk Air is the only airline that operates regular flights to and from Bhutan to India. People also take flights from Bagdogra airport near Siliguri, West Bengal. Being one of the closest airports to Bhutan, one can take also avail a cab or car service across Phuentsholing, and enjoy a tour to this enticing place.

By Train

Although, there are no direct rail routes to reach Bhutan from India, one can board a train from Hasimara station or New Alipurduar stations, which are 17 and 60 kilometers away from Phuentsholing, the border town of Bhutan. From there, tourists can book shared taxis, individual cabs, and buses to reach Bhutan.

By Road

One can also choose to go to Bhutan by road. Unlike other foreign countries, going to Bhutan by roadways from India is quite an easy task. There are only three land borders which are open for entry – Phuentsholing, Gelephu and Samdrup Jongkhar. While Phuentsholing shares a border with the Terai region of West Bengal, the other two are along the Assam border. It takes around three hours from Guwahati to Bhutan by road and same from Siliguri as well.

By Car:

One can take a private car or hire one to travel from India to Bhutan, and enjoy a tour while navigating through its alpine zones and sub-tropical regions. However, one needs to show some documents at the border.

By Bus:

One can also choose to travel via bus from Kolkata to Bhutan. It takes around 18 hours to reach Phuentsholing from Esplanade  Station and 4 hours from Siliguri.

    Nairp's 7 days trip to Bhutan

    This was my first ever solo trip and that was to a most silent and slow moving country with the name Bhutan❤️ I went through an agency named Bhutan GNH Heritage Travel - Mr.Thapa. He was the first point of contact to share itenary for my trip and with lots of patience he heard my likes and dislikes,
    according to which itenary was presented back to me. There were many revisions and discussions for just 7 days of my trip which turned out to be a most memorable days so far in my 29 years

    Cachetangoel's 5 days trip to Bhutan

    The driver has not stretched beyond their fixed working hours to showcase us the local market. As hotels were far away from the local market otherwise one could himself visit there. Scenic beauty as a whole of full Bhutan.

    Kritika's 7 days trip to Bhutan

    My husband and I visited Bhutan in July 2024 and chose All Ways Tours and Travel to plan our trip. The arrangements made by All Ways Tours and Travel were exceptional, including the choice of hotels, food, guide, and vehicle. Bhutan impressed us with its rich culture, stunning natural beauty, and t
    he warmth of its people. Our wonderful experience was largely due to the efforts of our tour organizer, Ms. Heema, our guide, Mr. Kel, and our driver, Mr. Lama. They provided outstanding advice and support throughout our journey. Ms. Heema tailored the itinerary to meet our needs and was highly cooperative from the day we booked until we returned home. As vegetarians, we were initially concerned about the food, but Mr. Kel and Mr. Lama ensured we enjoyed delicious meals throughout the trip, particularly the local Bhutanese dishes. Mr. Kel was an exceptional guide, sharing wonderful insights into Bhutan's rich culture, accommodating last-minute requests, and creating memorable experiences, such as playing archery and darts along with local children and inviting us for a hearty lunch at his home with his family. No one else could have guided us better. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and I highly recommend All Ways Tours and Travel for anyone planning a visit to Bhutan. Exploring Bhutan's stunning landscapes, especially the awe-inspiring Cha le la pass, and conquering the challenging Tiger Nest hike were highlights. Indulging in delicious Bhutanese cuisine, trying our hand at archery, and experiencing a traditional hot stone bath in Paro were equally unforgettable. But the most cherished memory was sharing a hearty lunch with our wonderful guide Mr. Kel and his family.

    Rameshbarapatre's 7 days trip to Bhutan

    I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Thapa as a travel agent for your Bhutan tours. Our recent trip to Bhutan was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to Thapa's exceptional expertise, attention to detail, and warm hospitality. From the initial planning stages to the final farewell, Thapa
    went above and beyond to ensure our journey was seamless, enriching, and unforgettable. His deep knowledge of Bhutan's history, culture, and hidden gems made our experience truly unique and immersive. Thapa's organizational skills are impressive, handling every aspect of our trip with ease, from accommodations to transportation and activities. His ability to balance flexibility and structure allowed us to explore Bhutan's wonders while also enjoying relaxation and spontaneity. What sets Thapa apart, however, is his passion for Bhutan and its people. His love for the country is contagious, and his connections with local communities and experts enhanced our experience exponentially. We cannot recommend Thapa enough for your Bhutan travels. His dedication, expertise, and warmth will undoubtedly create an unforgettable adventure in this enchanting land. Thank you, Thapa and Guide Chencho for an extraordinary journey!

    Kunal's 9 days trip to Bhutan

    Best arrangement with utmost care of customers. Often asking if there are any issues. Couldn't have asked more than this from a travel agent. Sharmila from Greenzone enhanced the experience of Bhutan for me and my friends. Best decision I have made for the trip is to chose Greenzone. Thanks a lot! S
    pecial Mention- Guide: Lobzang and Driver: Kewal. They made the entire trip more memorable and enjoyable. Will surely try to visit again to relive those moments. Apart from the peace and beauty that Bhutan offers, loved the warmth people gave. And the best part is our Guide: Lobzang and Driver: Kewal. Everything else that Bhutan could have offered can be anticipated but not these two humble and friendly human beings. Also, loved the Homestay in Haa Valley.
