Kolkata To Thimphu Distance

	By Air	By Road	By Train	By Sea
Kolkata to Thimphu	3.0 hours	-	-	-

Kolkata is the closest Indian metro city to Thimphu. Being the capital of West Bengal and the most important city in eastern India, Kolkata is well-connected with various international destinations. Bhutan is no exception. In fact, among all the other major cities of India, the most convenient transport options exist from Kolkata to Thimphu. Here are the different ways of how to go to Thimphu from Kolkata, explained in details.

By Air: Kolkata is the only airport that has regular flights to Bhutan. Kolkata to Thimphu flights actually land at Paro, which is an hour’s drive away from the capital. Paro is the only international airport in Bhutan and receives flights every day from numerous international locations like Kathmandu and Bangkok as well. Kolkata to Thimphu by air takes 3 hours in total – 1.30 hours from Kolkata to Paro and another 1.30 hours to drive from Paro to Thimphu.

By Road: Kolkata to Thimphu distance is around 875 kilometers via NH12, and this is a very commonly used route by those who want to avoid the flight for some reason. There is Kolkata to Thimphu bus service from the Esplanade area in Kolkata which leaves every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 7 PM. These buses take 22 hours 30 minutes to go from Kolkata to Thimphu by road. A car trip will also take nearly the same amount of time. The vehicles will enter Bhutan at the Jaigaon-Phuentsholing border and from there drive up the remaining 165 kilometers to Thimphu.

By Rail: One cannot go from Kolkata to Thimphu by train because there are no networks. However, trains go till New Alipurduar or Hasimara stations in North Bengal which are very close to the Bhutan border. There are buses, taxis, and autos available till Phuentsholing, from where the tourists can take another transport to reach Thimphu.

Jayesh's 7 days trip to Thimphu

We had an incredible experience with Green Zone Destinations during our trip to Bhutan. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, every detail was perfectly taken care of. The seamless entry and exit process made our journey stress-free, and their personalized service truly stood out. The s

election of hotels was spot on, offering comfort and wonderful hospitality. The arrangements for the cab, driver, and guide were exceptional. A special thanks to our guide, Narendra, for his in-depth knowledge and warm demeanor, and to our driver, Tashi, who ensured we had a smooth and comfortable journey throughout. We’d also like to extend our gratitude to Sharmila for her personalized welcome at Thimphu, which made us feel truly special and set the tone for a wonderful trip. Exploring Bhutan with their help was an absolute joy. We couldn’t have asked for more. Everything was perfect, and we are completely satisfied. Thank you, Green Zone Destinations, for making our trip memorable!
