How to Reach Paro

A perfect blend of unsullied wilderness and traditional customs

Rated 4.40/5 ( based on 2087 reviews )

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.

Chandramohan's 7 days trip to Paro

Our trip to Bhutan was made truly special because of our wonderful Guide Kinley Penjor and Chauffeur Pema Zangmo. Kinley is extremely knowledgeable and made every place we visited so interesting. He explained the history, culture, monasteries, and all the little details so beautifully. We learned so

much from him and really enjoyed listening to all the stories and explanations. Pema was also excellent. She drove very safely and confidently, and we always felt comfortable during our journeys. Both of them were punctual, friendly, helpful, and such wonderful company throughout our trip. Also, a big thank you to our travel agent, Sema, for taking such wonderful care of us throughout our trip. She checked in with us twice a day to make sure everything was going smoothly and we were comfortable. The hotels she selected were all excellent, and whenever we needed help, including arranging money for us, she was always there and made sure everything was sorted out quickly and on time. They all truly went above and beyond to make our Bhutan journey special and memorable. We are very grateful to all three of them and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Bhutan.

We had a wonderful and great trip of Bhutan through AD tours and travels. I want to extend a special thanks to Mrs. Durga for arranging the entire itinerary; everything went smoothly and without any issues. We also truly appreciated our guide, Mr. Alva, and our driver, who were both incredibly humbl

e and polite. It was a very peaceful nine-day journey, and we enjoyed every moment. I will strongly recommend AD Tours and Travel Triangle to others.

Kiron GV

Bengaluru

Kiron's 7 days trip to Paro

The trip was good enough. Few staff at Paro hotel were rude but other hotel staff were good. Van arrangement was ok but low height not as agreed for high roof toyota van. Last minute hotel change at Paro which we had to understand after our calling agent, agency had not informed prior. Guide was not

so good with his english and in the end left us to another guide due to certain preoccupation. Takin preserve was not so essential. Apart from these the trip was ok and best was the cab driver who was very good. A good hotel at phuentsholing, visit to 108 stupas in the morning was good. Avoiding Tiger nest was a blessing in disguise for us. Buddha big size at Dordenma was good. Local dress with photo shoot was good. Simply Bhutan was good. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotels. Overall the trip was good.
