Getting into Bhutan

Bhutan can be accessed by air or by road. Druk Air and Bhutan Airlines operate flights to Paro International Airport from cities including Bangkok, Delhi, Kathmandu, Kolkata, Singapore, and Dhaka.

By Air

Paro International Airport is the only international airport in Bhutan. The approach to Paro is one of the most spectacular in the world, flying past the snow-capped Himalayan peaks. Druk Air (Royal Bhutan Airlines) and Bhutan Airlines are the two carriers serving Bhutan.

By Road

Bhutan can also be entered overland from India through Phuentsholing in the south, Gelephu in the central south, and Samdrup Jongkhar in the southeast. Indian nationals can enter with a valid voter ID card or passport.

Visa Requirements

All visitors (except Indian, Bangladeshi, and Maldivian nationals) must obtain a visa before traveling to Bhutan. Your tour operator will handle the visa application process on your behalf.
