What's the traffic situation in Bhutan?

Bhutan has only established diplomatic relations with 22 countries, mainly in South Asia. So traffic must pass through a third country. After getting a visa (you can't buy a plane ticket without a visa), you can book a plane ticket to Bhutan from Bhutan Travel Agency. Since all flights to Bhutan are monopolized by Bhutan Airlines Druk Air, don't expect discounts.

China tourists can fly to Bhutan via Nepal, Thailand or India. It is highly recommended to fly from Nepal here, because visas are very easy, and you can get them in three days as long as you pay for photos and fill out the form. There are a lot of visa materials in India, which may need to be checked and signed in person (I am really a lucky person), and I can get a visa as soon as one week. Landing visa and Thailand are OK, but the round-trip air tickets from Bangkok to Paro and Bhutan to Drucker Airlines cost about $890, which is nearly twice as expensive as Kathmandu to Paro.

Nepal has four classes a week (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Return on the same day) Drucker Airlines flies to Bhutan, and the round-trip ticket is about 460 dollars. Thailand has shifts every day. Western tourists like to go to Bhutan from Thailand, so it is always crowded. If you still decide to fly from India, you can fly from Delhi to Paro four times a week (Sunday, Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday. The return date is the same), and the round-trip ticket is about $730. You can only go to Bhutan by land through India.

Bhutan has two land ports, one is Phuntsholing in the southwest, bordering the Indian state of West Bengal. The famous cities in Bangladesh are Kolkata and Darjeeling, from which you can take a bus to Jagon, an Indian border town bordering Bangzuolin. Please be prepared to squeeze with others and endure the heat and all kinds of curry smells. Jaigon and Phuntsholing are across the street, but they are worlds apart. Jaigon is a typical Indian style, noisy, dirty and disorderly. Phuntsholing, a block away, is quiet and clean. The power of a street is incredible. If you want to visit western and central Bhutan, but don't want to fly, you can enter from Phuntsholing.

But be sure to contact the travel agency in advance and get a copy of the visa, otherwise you won't see these documents. The Indian Gong Jie Border Protection Bureau will not stamp your departure. You can only be trapped in Gong Jie, a remote place, outside the store, and then go home from India. Another land port is Samdrup Jongkhar in the southeast, bordering Assam, India, producing tea. This is the gateway to eastern Bhutan. Generally, tourists fly to Guwahati, India, and then take a three-hour bus to Samdrup Qionggehar. If the economic situation permits, I still suggest flying to Bhutan. Not only to save energy and time, but most importantly, you can see the majestic Himalayas from the plane.

When you take off from Kathmandu and Delhi, you must remember to sit in the window seat on the left. In Zhangjia, Gancheng, you can see Mount Everest and the snow-capped mountains over 8,000 meters in turn. If you fly from Bangkok, you need a window seat on the right.

Bhutan Airlines is the only airline that can enter and leave Bhutan. It has only two planes, and each plane can carry 72 passengers. The company has only five routes, namely New Delhi, Cape Verde, Kathmandu, Bangladesh and Bangkok, Thailand. If you leave from Bangkok, the air ticket is about $790. Paro International Airport, 55km from Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan, is the only airport in and out of Bhutan. There is a tourist bus from the airport to Thimphu. In terms of flights, China tourists can not only transfer from Bangkok to Bhutan, but also fly from Chengdu to Nepal and then enter Bhutan from Nepal. The tourist route also combines Nepal. Because the Bhutanese government restricts the number of tourists and Bhutan Airlines has few flights, it is necessary to book a trip to Bhutan at least half a month in advance. During the peak season, many people begin to reserve seats three months or even six months in advance. At present, the only open land border in Bhutan is Phuentsholing in the south. After leaving the country, it was Jiegang, a small town in West Bengal, India. From here, you can fly to Badogla or take a train to siliguri to continue your journey to other parts of India. These two cities are about 169 kilometers away from Jaigaon, and the driving time is about 6 hours.

You can also arrange to visit famous scenic spots in northeast India, such as Darjeeling, Karin State and Sikkim Mountain. For details, please call 2868 323 1.

Tip: the local weather is changeable, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. Especially when passing through mountain passes and valleys by coach, the temperature will drop sharply, so you should prepare warm clothes. Domestic transportation Bhutan has no civil aviation and helicopter transportation services, and there is no railway. So the main means of transportation are cars and walking.

Ordinary cars are provided by travel agencies, and self-help tourists can find public transportation services. But it is rare, and it is often crowded, and the road is bumpy. You can also rent a car or bike locally. There are many bicycle rental companies in Thimphu. There are also a few taxis, which need to be bargained, and sometimes even quarrel:) The national highway in Puntersorin, the capital of Thimphu, leads to India, and east and west expressway leads to major domestic towns such as Paro, Punaka, Tonsa and Tahigang.
