Getting to Bhutan is easier than you thought
Bhutan may feel remote, but travellers make the journey from all over the world. With the right flight routing, visa arrangements and itinerary planning, getting there is more straightforward than many first-time visitors expect.
These are the top countries our travellers have come from
Wherever your journey begins, you can reach Bhutan through key transit hubs including Singapore, Bangkok, Delhi, Kathmandu and Dubai.
How many days should you spend in Bhutan?
Our traveller data shows how long people actually stay once they make the journey.
For many first-time visitors, trip length comes down to how much of Bhutan they want to experience and how quickly they want to travel. A shorter journey can cover Paro, Thimphu and Punakha, while additional days give you more time to travel deeper into the country and slow the pace.
When Do Travellers Visit Bhutan?
There isn't one perfect month for everyone.
Some travellers come for clear Himalayan views. Others plan around festivals, spring landscapes, quieter periods or warmer weather.
When should I visit Bhutan?
The most popular month isn't automatically the best month for you. Choose when to visit based on the weather, scenery, festivals, crowd levels and experiences you want from Bhutan.
