India to Paro Distance

With numerous airlines carrying passengers from India to Bhutan on a daily basis, opting for a flight is the best way to figure out how to go to Paro. Besides boarding a plane to Paro, one can also take the roadway, as Bhutan shares a border with four Indian states – West Bengal, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim. Though, there are only three land entrances allowed – one is at Jaigaon-Phuentsholing border in West Bengal, and the other two are in Assam.

Being the only city in Bhutan with an international airport, called Paro Airport located at the distance of just 7 kms from the city, the place is well-connected by flights to major cities of Indian countries, like: Kolkata, Mumbai, Bagdogra and Delhi as well. Hence, one can easily hop on a flight, and cover the India to Paro distance of around 1216 kms in a few minutes more than one hour.

Here is a brief guide to help you know how to reach Paro from India by flight, bus, and car.

By Air

With Bhutan’s national carrier, including Druk Air and Bhutan Airlines, operating flights from Paro to India, one can reach the destination in around 1 hour 15 minutes. And, as Kolkata is the closest Indian metro-city to Paro, flights operating from here remain quite packed. Though, there are frequent Mumbai to Paro and Delhi to Paro flights as well. The only airport that operates direct flights to Paro is Bagdogra near Siliguri. However, instead of providing a direct 3-4 hours journey to Paro, the flight becomes an extended one because of a stop-journey at Kathmandu or Bangkok, which are two other airports from where Paro receives international flights.

So, if you are wondering how to reach Paro by flight when your itinerary schedule clashes with such a flight, then go with our recommendation and take a flight to Kolkata and from there fly for only 1.5 hours to Paro airport without any hassle.

By Road

One can also opt for a road route to reach Paro from India. Though, the whole journey from distant cities like Mumbai or Delhi is quite time consuming.

By Bus:

Instead of opting for a direct road journey, one can choose to fly to Kolkata and from there board the long-distance luxury buses to Bhutan. These buses go to Thimphu, from where one can take a one and a half hour car ride to Paro.

By Car:

However, if one choose to take a complete road journey, it takes a little more than 4 hours to travel from Kolkata to Paro. There are road routes from Siliguri and Bagdogra and some other North Bengal cities as well. All of these finally lead to the Jaigaon-Phuentsholing border, from where it takes 4.5 hours to drive to Paro. On the Assam side, the two places where the border is open for entry are Samdrup Jongkhar and Gelephu. Samdrup Jongkhar is the one closer to Guwahati, i.e. 2.5 hours drive away.

Bagdogra

Rakesh's 9 days trip to Paro

I had an unforgettable 9-day tour in Bhutan with Bhutan Inc. Everything was perfectly organized, and the owner Khina regularly checked in to ensure we were comfortable. Our guide Navin was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating insights about Bhutan’s culture and history, whil

e our driver Gyem Dorji navigated the roads safely and smoothly. From the breathtaking Tiger’s Nest hike to the stunning Punakha Dzong and delicious local food, every moment was special. The itinerary was well-balanced, allowing us to truly experience Bhutan’s beauty and serenity. Last but not the least The Indian counterpart Nima Dhai, ensured a smooth drive to and from Bagdogra Airport, accommodating my schedule perfectly. I highly recommend Bhutan Inc for a seamless, enriching, and hassle-free Bhutan adventure!

Dreadnaught's 7 days trip to Paro

AD Tours & Travels had curated the perfect itinerary for us based on our needs. Everything was well planned from the start - Stay, food, vehicle. We had one of the best weeks of experiencing Bhutan with our guide KinLee and Tshering guruji. They were polite, patient, thoughtful, jovial and good kno

wledge about the history, location awareness. KinLee had deep knowledge about all the places and events and shared great of information. Great combination of hotels and homestay and the hosts everywhere were caring and helpful with all our needs and also the stays were clean and comfortable with awesome views of the valleys. Visited Thimpu, Punakha, Phobjikha and Paro and ended our last day with a eventful trek to Tiger's Nest. Tried local dishes as per the recommendations and it was a great experience. Would like to thank Tandin and Saraswati for organizing everything and providing us with a good package. Will definitely visit again !!

The overall experience was very good. Our driver and travel guide in Bhutan were vert cooperative and accommodating. They made our experience worthwhile. The only part which was unpleasant was our driver who dropped us to Bhutan border on 27th, he was rude and was not cooperative at all.
