    Frequently Asked Questions About Bhutan Tourism Packages


    Ques. Do you need a visa to visit Bhutan?

    Ans. Experiencing Bhutan tourism is always a feast, especially for travellers who want to explore some of the world’s most picturesque landscapes, right from majestic valleys and mountains to beautiful sub-tropical zones. However, for travelling to the country as an Indian national, you will have to carry either your valid passport (with at least six months of validity) or your Voter Identity Card. You will not require any visa for exploring Bhutan. If you are entering the country by road, then you will have to get the entry permit on the basis of valid travel documents from the Immigration Office of the Royal Government of Bhutan at Phuentsholing, located on the border with India. You will also have to get your entry permit at the Paro International Airport once you land in the country. However, this is only for Paro and Thimphu. Any other place besides these destinations requires a special area permit on a working day (Monday to Friday) from the Royal Government of Bhutan Immigration Office in Thimphu.


    Ques. Are there any restrictions on traveling to Bhutan?

    Ans. Bhutan tourism is now open for travellers without any COVID-19 or related restrictions. You can experience the beauty of this charming country with a fully vaccinated certificate. You no longer require a negative RT-PCR report while visiting the country. All destinations in the country remain open for tourists at the moment. However, if you plan to pass through another country while visiting Bhutan, check the travel advisory for the country you are transiting.


    Ques. How many days will be enough for covering Bhutan?

    Ans. The best of Bhutan tourism requires at least 5-7 days if you are sticking to the famous monasteries, temples and Dzongs. This time period will be enough for checking out Paro, Punakha and Thimphu. You should remember that the entry permit is only for seven days for these zones. You can get it extended as well based on your trip length and documents. You can spend five days covering western Bhutan alone. Thimphu and Paro require a couple of days to be explored. Moreover, one day will be enough to discover the mesmerising city of Punakha.


    Ques. How much should I budget for a short Bhutan trip?

Browse through the available options at MakeMyTrip and choose a holiday package that fits your budget.


    Ques. How do I get around in Bhutan?

    Ans. The wonders of Bhutan tourism can mostly be explored by road. You will have to travel from one place to another and will require a private rented car and a driver for this purpose. You can also use taxis or buses to reach your destination. Bhutan does not have any passenger railway network and the domestic air services are limited in nature. Hence, you need to take a drive to reach most places. However, traveling by road opens you up to magical experiences with the scenic landscapes and stunning views all around. It is best to rent a four-wheel drive vehicle for getting around in Bhutan.


    Ques. How can I reach Bhutan from Kolkata?

    Ans. Bhutan tourism offers several accessibility options if you are traveling from Kolkata. You can always take a flight to Paro International Airport from the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata. You can also take a flight to Bagdogra Airport and then fly to Paro Airport. Interestingly, you can also take a bus from the Esplanade Bus Station in the city. These are the slow buses of the Royal Bhutan Government that run till Phuentsholing. The journey time is around 18 hours. The government buses leave at 7 PM every Tuesday, Saturday and Thursday and return on alternate days, i.e. Wednesday, Friday and Monday. While a road trip to Bhutan may seem thrilling from Kolkata, it is strenuous and requires 22-26 hours on average. You can take the route from Malda to Jaigaon and then Phuentsholing or the one from Siliguri to Jaigaon and Phuentsholing after reaching Siliguri via Bardhaman-Raiganj-Goagaon. New Jalpaiguri, Siliguri and Hasimara railway stations are also available. You can reach the Hasimara station and take a bus to reach Phuentsholing.


    Ques. What should I pack for Bhutan?

    Ans. Bhutan tourism necessitates being prepared for weather fluctuations and steep trails. Here are some things that you should pack for your trip:
    • Make sure you have a sturdy pair of hiking shoes. This will help you trek up to various places including the famous Tiger’s Nest Monastery.
    • Have some ginger or mint chocolates to chew during your trip, especially when you face bumpy and poor roads. This is vital for those who have occasional bouts of motion sickness in such terrains.
    • Always have adequate clothing including layers and socks.
    • Keep hand sanitizers and toilet paper handy along with hand warmers if you are traveling in winter.
    • Sunscreen is always useful due to the high altitude and so are sunglasses.
    • A camera with lots of space is always recommended for capturing the beauty all around.


    Ques. What is the currency of Bhutan?

    Ans. The currency of Bhutan is the Bhutanese Ngultrum. However, the advantage of Bhutan tourism is that the currency there is equivalent to the Indian rupee. One Ngultrum is equivalent to One Indian Rupee. Rupees and US dollars are accepted throughout the country. ATMs, however, are not present beyond Thimphu and Paro. So, make sure that you have sufficient cash for buying things outside these two zones. Always have smaller denominations for Indian rupees, since notes of higher values are not taken in most cases. A few hotels and stores will take credit cards, although smaller outlets do not accept the same. You can always exchange your money for the Ngultrum currency at the Airport.


    Ques. What are some must-visit attractions of Bhutan?

    Ans. Bhutan tourism is replete with natural, cultural and spiritual marvels. There is literally so much to see that a single trip will not be sufficient. If you start from Thimphu, the Bhutanese Capital, then you should not miss the Raidak/Chuu River along with the Buddha Dordenma, Dechencholing Palace, Memorial Chorten, Clock Tower Square and the Dechen Phodrang Monastery. Paro is also dotted with attractions like the Zuri and Paro Dzongs, Tiger’s Nest Monastery, Ugyen Pelri Palace and Pelri Goemba. You will also love the Druk Choeding and the National Museum here. Punakha also has attractions like the Pho and Mo Rivers, Punakha Dzong and Namgyal Chorten.


    Ques. How can I explore Bhutan on a tight budget as a bag packer?

    Ans. Bhutan tourism does not always have to be an expensive proposition. You can always find ways to explore the country on a limited budget. You should ensure that you book your travel tickets in advance and try for good deals on the same. This will lower your costs at the outset. Also, go for reasonably priced accommodation and local meals at inexpensive restaurants. Try going in a group to lower the cost of travelling from one place to another. With a little planning and homework on your part, you can certainly explore Bhutan on a tight budget.
