Entry to Bhutan
Overview
“Getting into Bhutan is possible in two ways only. Flying in by Drukair (Bhutan National Airline). It is only the airline servicing Paro to Bangkok (Thailand), Delhi, Calcutta, Bagdogra (India) and Kathmandu (Nepal), Dhaka (Bangladesh).”
By Air
The Paro airport is 1 hours drive from Thimphu, the capital. During monsoons and winter, unpredictable weather forces can delay flights and travelers should consider including an extra day in their itinerary.
By Road
The nearest Indian airport is in Bagdogra, which can be reached by planes from Calcutta and Delhi. The road from Bagdogra connects to Phuentsholing, a boarder town in Bhutan. It is 3-4 hours drive from the airport.
It takes approximately 6 hours from Phuentsholing to Thimphu.
