Getting into Bhutan
There are two ways to access the kingdom of Bhutan: by air or by land. Bhutan, being a landlocked country, does not have any sea entry points.
Taking a flight is the most convenient way to reach Bhutan. Druk Air, the national airline of Bhutan, operates multiple flights from different Asian countries to Bhutan. These flights arrive at Paro International Airport (PBH), the country's sole international airport. Situated amidst the stunning Himalayas, this airport is renowned for its beauty. Annually, around 30,000 tourists use this airport to travel to Bhutan.
Alternatively, if you are coming from India, you can opt for the roadways to enter Bhutan. You can enter from Phuntsholing in the west, Gelephu in the central region, or Samdrup Jongkhar in the east. The airport in Bagdogra, India, is a 4-hour drive from the Bhutanese border at Phuntsholing. Phuntsholing is the recommended entry point if you are traveling from Sikkim, West Bengal in India, or Kakarbhitta in Nepal. The only exit point is Samdrup Jongkhar in southeast Bhutan, leading to Guwahati in India. From Guwahati, you can catch flights to other Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, or Kolkata for your onward journey. While Bhutan shares a border with Tibet, there are currently no agreements in place to allow border crossings between these two countries.
