How to get into Bhutan

You cannot get into the Kingdom without contact of Tour Company in Bhutan.

When you come to Bhutan the most easiest and convenient way for visitors to get into Bhutan is by Bhutan Airline (Druk Air), the only operator in Bhutan. Druk Air operates from Paro-Bhutan to India: Delhi & Calcutta, Nepal :Kathmandu, Thailand : Bangkok and Bangladesh : Dhaka. For more information on Druk Air please visit www.drukair.com.bt

Once you land in Paro international airport, you will be honored by Bhutan Himalayan Holidays our certified guide and you will enjoy the traditional hospitality and friendship of our staff.

For the convenience of our guest our client can book in advance, especially during the peak season when there is a big rush. Druk Air tickets will be issued in Bhutan and sent to you, but the tickets will not be issued until the visa is approved. To expedite this procedure, it is essential that you download the Visa application form, fill it up correctly and fax it (00-975-2-325393) or e-mail us. This process will take approximately 10 to 14 days.

You are also allowed to enter or exit Bhutan through surface from the border towns of Phuentsholing and Samdrup Jongkhar if you want to combine your trip to Bhutan with a visit to nearby States of West Bengal, Sikkim, and other northeastern states of India. You need Indian visa because you go into Indian Territory. From Phuentsholing to capital Thimphu the distance is 176Km, about 6hours by hired car.
