Paro International Airport is the only air unit present in the company. Visitors can arrive in Bhutan through two major airlines namely : Druk Air and Bhutan Airlines. The air network is well connected to other major cities such as Delhi, Kolkata, Bangkok and Kathmandu.
Indians who are planning to travel Bhutan by road need to cross the border town of Phuentsholing. Apart from that, buses and taxis from the neighboring places are also available to travel Bhutan. Jaigaon is another such place in India where travelers can easily access Bhutan through the Indo-Bhutan border.
Even though Bhutan’s rail network is not connected like the rest of the world. But visitors can reach Bhutan through Phuentsholing railway station either from Hasimara or New Alipurduar from India and then can continue their journey through the road.
Apart from Indians, citizens from other nations need a mandatory visa to enter Bhutan.
Phuentsholing, Gelephu, and Samdrup Jongkhar are the three major opening pathways through which a visitor can enter Bhutan.
In the first step, a clearance letter will be provided after the approval of the visa.
The visa clearance letter is a must at the time of entry, later the letter gets stamped into your passport, allowing you to explore without any difficulty.
All the visitors get charged with a daily Sustainable Development Fee (SDF).
