Siliguri is the main town in North Bengal. The town acts as a central hub for all sorts of transportation towards further north or north-east. Be it flight or bus or car, routes spread around like nerves from Siliguri towards the mountains. Bhutan is not an exception. Siliguri to Bhutan can be reached by all three forms of transport – flights, bus, and train. They might not be straight to the capital Thimphu, but close enough to the border. Here are the different ways how to reach Bhutan from Siliguri.
By Air: The closest airport to Siliguri is the Bagdogra International Airport, only 23 minutes away from the town. Bagdogra is the only way to avail Siliguri to Bhutan flight. There are regular flights to Paro flying out of Bagdogra, operated by Druk Air and Bhutan Airlines. Druk Air is the national carrier of Bhutan and also the flag-bearer of the dragon symbol.
By Road: If a car is hired for going from Siliguri to Bhutan by road, then the route to Jaigaon has to be availed. Siliguri to Bhutan distance till the border at Phuentsholing is around 157 kilometers, and it takes 3 hours 45 minutes on the car to go from Siliguri to Bhutan border. From Phuentsholing, Thimphu takes another 2 hours to reach. The road is quite smooth and well-maintained. There are many car rental agencies in Siliguri who drive to Bhutan. These cars have to get permits at the border for traveling further than the Phuentsholing area. However, Indians do not need any visa but only an identity proof to get into Bhutan. There are Siliguri to Bhutan bus services as well, from Tenzing Norgay Central Bus Terminal on Hill Cart Road. This too shall take you till Phuentsholing, from where there are other buses and taxis to Thimphu or Paro.
By Rail: The main broad gauge train station of Siliguri is called New Jalpaiguri Station. To go from Siliguri to Bhutan by train, one must avail the Hasimara or New Alipurduar-bound trains that leave from NJP. Hasimara is the closer one, only 17 kilometers away from Bhutan border. From these stations, there are taxis or autos to take you to Phuentsholing.

Trip to Bhutan
The trip was very good, driver cum guide was very good and cooperative. Only the Town view hotel in which we stayed in Paro was not up to the mark as the management needs to improvise ceratin things other than that it was memorable trip for us.Trip to Bhutan
the stay in Bhutan was exceptional. Greta hotels. the roads are clean. awesome sightseeing for nature loving people I loved the trek to Tiger nest.Trip to Bhutan
I had a wonderful experience with Deya Bhutan travels. I just took the cab and sightseeing package from them. The cab sent was neat, clean and in good condition. The Driver was very good and cooperative.Trip to Bhutan
My trip to Bhutan was very spontaneous. I had less than a week to plan the trip and make all my bookings. I decided to use travel triangle to find an agent as I just used the site before and was happy with the service. The first response I received was from the Bhutan Old Monk team and they were very prompt and helpful. As the trip was very last minute, I had just a few days to plan and arrange everything and the team especially Suman was really helpful with making changes to the itinerary as I needed. Suman was constantly in touch with me to ensure everything was going well. Even while on my vacation they were able to provide me with assistance when needed. Yadop met me on my first day in Bhutan. I requested him to change my hotel as the location wasn't convinient and he got it changed within a few hours. Jeewan was an exceptional driver/guide/photographer/genie (lol) throughout the trip. He was very helpful and even offered to drive me around in the evenings because I was travelling alone and he was afraid I would get bored. My solo trip turned out to be a lot less solo than expected but I really appreciated the hospitality. Bhutan is an amazing and wonderful country that I visited by chance because it was convince to travel to, required no visa and was completely safe for a woman traveling alone. I would encourage more Indian, solo, woman travelers to visit this beautiful country and experience the beauty and tranquility of the land of the thunder dragon!Trip to Bhutan
I saw many good review about Himavat travels but in our case things didn't went so smooth, instead what I believe is Himavat travels should get banned from TT platform. On our bhutan trip they didn't even provide us permit to visit upper area. later our driver arranged it for us. Upon calling Himavat travels they threaten us to cancel the trip and not to provide any further assistance, Only mistake we did was not went to the police station to register a complaint against Himavat travels. shame on them. But to agree the hotels were good.Trip to Bhutan
Starting from the immigration to point of time we leaving, the experience we had throughout the trip everything is very phenomenal. The hotels and the food provided was amazing.The guide who traveled along with us was very friendly. We felt the warmth in your service. Looking forward to come again and enjoy your services and the nature of Bhutan. Special thanks to Mr Bimal he is the hero for making my trip memorable.Trip to Bhutan
We a group of 11 members visited Bhutan from May 21 to May 28, 2018 including kids. The trip was nicely organised by KNG's especially Mr. Karna Ji, a nice human being and well mannered and soft spoken person. Trip was meticulously planned by KNG and the hotel arranged was quite good except in Paro, where location of hotel was not good i.e. Hotel Khamsum . Visited Thimpu, Punakha & Paro during our stay. Bhutan is a beautiful place to visit with lush green surrounding with beautiful monasteries and kind people. Bhutan's main attraction was Monasteries, Dochula Pass, Tiger Nest, National Museum, Buddha Statue and definitely river rafting at Punakha. I suggest to go to Bhutan from Paro instead of Bagdogara to save extra travel time for that you need to book flights well in advance (5-6 months) as limited flights fly at Paro Airport, this will save your two precious day and unnecessary travel from Phuensoling to Thimpu/Paro. I highly recommend KNG Bhutan and Karna Ji as a travel agent for Bhutan TripTrip to Bhutan
It was very good trip, kng travels organised it well Tiger nest trekking was the best of all.in bhutan , others places were also very goodTrip to Bhutan
I gifted this tour to my brother-in-law and his feedback is, the service from the agent has been amazing...Trip to Bhutan
This was one of the best trips for us. My wife and I are travel buffs and this time we decided to experience the beauty of Bhutan. Our trip was made even more wonderful due to the warm welcome of KNG. Both their driver and the guide were such nice people who helped us understand the culture and history of Bhutan in a much better way than we could have ever had on our own. KNG event went out of their so many times to make us feel at home and make sure that our visit does not have any hiccups. I would suggest everyone travelling to Bhutan to book through KNG if they want to have an authentic experience of the beautiful country. Thank you KNG and TT for supporting us throughout and making this trip one of the most memorable ones for us.
