Traveling from Phuentsholing to Bhutan

The most convenient way to travel from Phuentsholing to Bhutan is by road. The journey to Thimphu, Bhutan’s capital, takes approximately 4 hours. Alternatively, you can opt for flights from major cities like Delhi, Kolkata, and Guwahati to Paro, Bhutan’s only international airport. During the summer season, chartered flights are also available, operated by Druk Air and Bhutan Airlines, with a flight duration of about 3 hours.

For those preferring a train and road combination, you can take a train to Siliguri or NJP (New Jalpaiguri) in West Bengal and then travel by road to Bhutan. This journey also takes around 4-5 hours from the Phuentsholing/Siliguri/NJP border to Thimphu. While this option might be time-consuming, it offers a scenic route and a unique travel experience.

Upon arrival in Bhutan, you will need to secure a permit, as Indian nationals do not require a visa but must obtain an entry permit from the Immigration Office of the Royal Government of Bhutan. All necessary arrangements, including permits and travel bookings, will be handled by Tratoli to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip.
