If you are looking for the answer to how to reach Thimphu from Bagdogra, then your search ends here. Bagdogra is the town that has the second international airport in West Bengal. The total distance between Thimphu and Bagdogra is approx. 157 km by air. It takes just 1 hour to travel to Thimphu from Bagdogra by flight. There are no direct flights for Thimphu from Bagdogra. You can take a direct flight to Paro from Bagdogra and then travel to Thimphu from Paro.

Bagdogra to Thimphu by flight:

The airport has two Bagdogra to Thimphu flights every week going to the Paro airport. Paro is the only airport in Bhutan and since it is only 1.5 hours away from Thimphu, going from Bagdogra to Thimphu by air is quite convenient. Bagdogra International Airport is the main airport in Bagdogra and Paro International Airport is the nearest airport to Thimphu at a distance of 47 km approx. The flights are run by Druk Air – Bhutan’s national carrier, and as of now they only fly on Sundays and Tuesdays from Bagdogra. The journey takes only 1 hour, and thus one can easily reach from Bagdogra to Thimphu in less than 2.5 hours altogether.

Bagdogra to Thimphu by Car:

If one chooses to take the roadway, it is not an impossible one but certainly a very long-drawn one. Bagdogra to Thimphu distance is nearly 330 kilometers by road, which takes more than 8 hours to drive. So unless someone specifically wants to make the road trip, going from Bagdogra to Thimphu by road is not very wise.

Bagdogra to Thimphu by Bus:

There is Bagdogra to Thimphu bus route which is easy to follow. There are buses from Bagdogra station which takes one to the border at Phuentsholing and from there another bus or taxi can take the visitor to Thimphu. From Phuentsholing, it takes around 5 to 6 hours to reach Thimphu.

Bagdogra to Thimphu by Train:

Hasimara is the nearest Indian railway station to Thimphu in Bhutan, which can be reached from NJP station in Siliguri or Sealdah station in Kolkata. In the same manner as before, one can take a cab or auto to the border at Jaigaon- Phuentsholing from Hasimara to reach Thimphu.

Vishal's 8 days trip to Thimphu

4.5/5 We booked our 7day tour from GZD Tours. Sharmila made sure we get a meticulous planned package covering all important places. She provided us good hotels(& guide) at a reasonable price. Right from our pickup at Bagdogra airport to our drop-off at the end of the trip, was done seamlessly.

Jampa Dubjur (JD) was our tour guide in this trip and Haapa Dorji was the driver accompanying us. They were kind, knowledgeable and very accommodating. They made sure we had a good time during the long drives! Following hotels were provided to us : 1. Phuentsholling : Hotel Legphel -> 2km away from the main town. The rooms were excellent, hygienic and food was pretty good too! 2. Thimphu : Hotel Takhtsang -> Located at the centre of the city, but the room was decent, however the food was good! 3. Punakha : Hotel Khurukhuru -> Located at the centre of the city. The rooms were great, hygienic and food was pretty good too! 4. Phobjika : Hotel Odiyana -> This hotel has a great view of the Phobjika valley. However, the room was pretty average. The food was pretty good(however, despite booking for a breakfast in advance. IT was over way early.) 5. Paro : Hotel Ratna Vara -> Located at the centre of the city, The rooms were excellent, hygienic and food was pretty good too! I had always heard that Bhutanese are very deep rooted to their culture and pretty genuine in keeping their tourist happy. JD, Dorji and Sharmila proved that it was true. If you’re planning for a trip to Bhutan, I would highly recommend to go with Green Zone Destination Tours! Tiger Nest hike and Hot Stone bath after a grueling hike was the best experience!

Great experience overall. Even though there were some confusions related to hotel rooms, A D Gurung, Meg and their team fixed it the next day. We got a very supportive guide Bikash and a responsible driver Kinga boss. Team is very responsive and supportive. Highly recommend AD Tours and Travels for

your Bhutan trip.

Saurabh's 8 days trip to Thimphu

My recent trip to Bhutan arranged by Red Robes Destination. It was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the country’s serene beauty and the genuine warmth of its people. The landscapes looked like they belonged in a painting. Lush valleys, snow capped peaks, and

ancient monasteries perched dramatically on cliffs. One of the highlights was visiting the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery. The hike itself was inspiring, offering breathtaking views along the way, and the peaceful atmosphere at the top made the effort completely worthwhile. Bhutan’s devotion to preserving its culture and environment was evident everywhere. From traditional architecture to the pristine surroundings untouched by mass tourism. The hospitality was exceptional. Whether at hotels, homestays, or local cafes, everyone I met was incredibly kind and eager to share the essence of Bhutanese life. The food was delicious too, especially the locally grown produce and comforting dishes like ema datshi. What truly set Bhutan apart was the sense of calm and authenticity. It’s a place where you can genuinely unplug, breathe deeply, and feel connected to both nature and culture. The emphasis on Gross National Happiness isn’t just a slogan, it’s something you feel throughout the journey. Overall, my trip to Bhutan was enriching, peaceful, and memorable, an experience I would highly recommend to anyone seeking beauty, culture, and a refreshing shift in perspective.

I recently returned from my Bhutan trip, and I would like to share my genuine appreciation for the wonderful experience. Our package covered Phuentsholing, Thimphu, Paro, and Punakha, and throughout the entire journey everything was incredibly well arranged. A special shout-out to Trip Trova and th

e entire team — Nitesh, Tashi, Guruji, and Karma — for making our trip smooth, happy, and truly memorable. Whether we were out of cash, wanted to try authentic Bhutanese food, shop at reasonable prices, or simply needed privacy to explore, every request was handled patiently and respectfully. We always felt supported without feeling restricted. A very special mention to Guruji and Tashi for prioritizing our health and comfort. Considering how challenging the roads can be in some parts of Bhutan, we feel extremely lucky to have had Guruji as our driver. He was caring, experienced, and looked after us like an elder, without ever getting into our personal space. Thank you once again for a beautiful experience and for going above and beyond to make our trip memorable.
