 Traveling from India to Bhutan

 By Air

Bhutan's sole international airport is in Paro. Direct flights are available from major Indian cities such as Delhi, Kolkata, Guwahati, and Bagdogra. Druk Air and Bhutan Airlines operate these routes. Given your location in Siliguri, Bagdogra Airport (approximately 15 km away) is the most convenient departure point.

 By Road

The most common land entry is through Phuentsholing, a Bhutanese town bordering Jaigaon in West Bengal. From Siliguri, it's about a 4-hour drive to Phuentsholing. Once there, you can obtain an entry permit to visit cities like Thimphu and Paro. For destinations beyond these, a special area permit is required, which can be obtained in Thimphu.

 Best Time to Visit Bhutan

• Spring (March to May): Pleasant weather with blooming rhododendrons.

• Autumn (September to November): Clear skies and vibrant festivals like Thimphu Tshechu.

• Winter (December to February): Cold temperatures with snowfall in higher altitudes; fewer tourists.

• Summer (June to August): Monsoon season with heavy rainfall, which may affect travel plans.

 Travel Tips

• Currency: Bhutanese Ngultrum (Nu.) is pegged to the Indian Rupee (INR). Indian currency, including ?500 and ?2,000 notes, is widely accepted.

• Connectivity: Indian mobile networks may not work in Bhutan. Consider purchasing a local SIM card for better connectivity.

• Cultural Etiquette: Dress modestly, especially when visiting monasteries and dzongs. Remove shoes before entering religious sites.

• Health: Carry necessary medications and a basic first-aid kit. Altitude sickness can be a concern in higher regions
