Travel Guide

Everything you need to know before travelling to Bhutan.

How to travel to Bhutan

Travelling to Bhutan is a straightforward process when planned in advance. Most international visitors arrive by air through Paro International Airport, while overland entry is also possible from India. Whether you're joining a guided tour or arranging a custom itinerary, planning ahead ensures a smooth and enjoyable journey.

By Land

Visitors may also enter Bhutan by road through designated border crossings with India, including Phuentsholing (western Bhutan), Gelephu (south - central Bhutan), and Samdrup Jongkhar (eastern Bhutan). Overland travel is popular for visitors combining Bhutan with neighbouring regions.

By Air

Most travellers fly into Paro International Airport, Bhutan's only international airport. Scheduled international flights operate from selected cities including Bangkok (Thailand), Singapore, Kathmandu (Nepal), Delhi, Kolkata and Bagdogra (India), and Dubai (United Arab Emirates).

Best Time to Visit Bhutan

The best time to visit Bhutan depends on the experience you are looking for, with each season offering distinct landscapes, weather conditions, and cultural highlights.

For the best overall experience, consider visiting Bhutan during spring or autumn, when pleasant weather and clear mountain views create ideal conditions for sightseeing and trekking. If you prefer a quieter journey with fewer visitors, winter offers a peaceful atmosphere and crisp, sunny days. Travellers seeking more budget-friendly options may find summer (the monsoon season) offers better value, although occasional rainfall should be expected.

Vibrant festivals such as Paro Tsechu in some regions

Autumn (September to November)

Winter (December to February)

Cold but generally clear weather in many regions
Fewer tourists and quieter attractions
Best for lower-altitude cultural visits

Summer / Monsoon (June to August)

Frequent rainfall, especially in western and southern regions
Lush green landscapes and fewer tourists
Some trekking routes may be affected
