Paro International Airport (PBH) is Bhutan’s only international airport. Two airlines fly there:
- Drukair (Royal Bhutan Airlines)
- Bhutan Airlines
Common connections include Delhi, Kolkata, Bagdogra, Guwahati, Kathmandu, Bangkok, Singapore and Dhaka. The landing into Paro, between mountain ridges, is one of the most scenic in the world — sit on the left side flying in from Kathmandu for Everest views.
Overland
Travellers can enter from India at Phuentsholing (from Jaigaon, West Bengal), Gelephu and Samdrup Jongkhar. Phuentsholing to Thimphu is about a 5-hour drive.
Getting around
There are no trains in Bhutan. Tourists travel by private vehicle with a driver and guide. Domestic flights connect Paro with Bumthang and Yongphulla in the east.
