  Bhutan Travel Information


Today, Bhutan’s national air carrier, Druk Air, operates flights from Bangkok, Delhi, Kolkotta and Kathmandu to Paro. The modern Airbus A-319 jets carry passengers through one of the most spectacular flight paths in the world. A particular highlight is the stretch between Kathmandu and Bhutan, where one passes 4 of the 5 highest mountains in the world.  If weather permit, passengers will have magnificent views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Kangchenjunga. Landing in the Paro Valley, surrounded by 4000 metre high mountains stretching across the west of Bhutan, means a visual landing is the order of the day.

Current flight schedules for Druk Air are available at www.drukair.com.bt. Flights should be booked through us and we also arrange visas.

The town of Phuentsholing in south-western Bhutan is the land border access open for international tourists. Phuentsholing lies approximately 170km east of the Indian airport at Bagdogra, nearby historic Darjeeling. From here begins a mountain journey of almost unbelievable beauty. The road leads from northern Indian tea plantations through endless turns, hair-pin bends and daring stretches carved into the mountain rock via Chukha to Thimphu. The travel time for 175 km stretch can be more than 6 hours. A combination of overland and air travel is also possible. All overland travel requires an Indian visa.
