When traveling to Bhutan, are there any recommended attractions or routes?

1. Countries where free travel is not possible

It is impossible to go to Bhutan for free travel. First, Bhutan has not established diplomatic relations with China, and there is no embassy to apply for a visa; Second, Bhutan Airlines tickets can only be purchased through local travel agencies, and other channels only have query functions; third, in order to protect the natural environment and control the number of tourists, tourists traveling to Bhutan have a daily minimum consumption limit, which includes: For expenses such as car tour guides and hotels in Bhutan, tourists’ itineraries can only be submitted through local travel agencies. The Bhutan Tourism Bureau will apply for visas for tourists only after receiving the remittance. Of course, if you marry/marry a local from Bhutan, that’s a different matter.

2. Transportation

Bhutan has only one international airport, which is Paro Airport. The airport is built between two mountain peaks. This is an airport with VFR take-off and landing requirements ( The runway can be seen with the naked eye), and the exaggerated dive landing experience will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

Chinese tourists can fly to Bhutan via Nepal (Kathmandu), Thailand (Bangkok), India (Delhi, Kolkata, Guwahati, Mumbai), Bangladesh (Dhaka) or Singapore. Usually tourists will transit through Kathmandu, Nepal, Bangkok, Thailand, and Kolkata, India. There are four flights to Nepal every week (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, the same return date). The visa is an arrival visa, free of visa fees, and the route is short. It only takes one hour to fly to Paro, Bhutan, which is the first choice for many tourists. There is one flight to Thailand every day, but the route is longer and takes 5 hours. Please prepare a double-entry visa and choose to transfer from Thailand to Bhutan. There are more and more tourists, so you still need to book tickets in advance. India can be used as a transit point or you can travel with Bhutan. These three routes allow you to enjoy the magnificent Himalayan Mountains on the plane (note that you sit on the left side on the way out, so you can take the clearest pictures of the snow-capped mountains. Similarly, on the return trip, sit on the left side. right).

3. Visa

After finalizing the itinerary with the Bhutan travel agency, tourists need to be ready to pay, because the Bhutan Tourism Bureau needs to confirm that tourists have paid in full before issuing a visa. As for the safety of payment in advance, tourists can rest assured because the Bhutan Tourism Bureau has strict management and the bank will transfer the money to the Bhutan Tourism Bureau after receiving payment from tourists. After tourists leave the country and there are no complaints, the Bhutan Tourism Bureau deducts taxes and transfers the income to the travel agency. Therefore, only after the Bhutan Tourism Bureau receives the remittance, it will go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to apply for a visa. It usually takes about a week, and at least two weeks in peak season. The time for tourists to receive their visa is generally 3-5 days before travel, and it will be sent to the tourist's mailbox in the form of an electronic visa. Tourists should print out their visas and carry them with them when traveling. When entering the country, they can show their ticket itinerary and visa page to enter customs.
