Getting to Bhutan

Plan the international connection before the Bhutan itinerary

Bhutan is reached by scheduled flights into Paro or through official land entry points from India. Routes and frequencies change, so build the journey from verified operating dates rather than assumptions.

Connection planning

Leave enough time between separate tickets

International connections and Bhutan flights may be issued on separate tickets. Allow a generous buffer, check transit requirements and avoid a same-day connection that cannot absorb delay.

  • Confirm whether baggage is checked through.
  • Check the transit visa requirement for your passport.
  • Allow for weather and operational disruption.
  • Reconfirm the Bhutan flight close to departure.

Arriving by road

Four official land gateways connect Bhutan with India

Samtse and Phuentsholing serve western Bhutan, Gelephu serves the south-central region and Samdrup Jongkhar serves the east. The best gateway depends on your itinerary and current operating conditions.
