How To Reach Bhutan

In today’s world connectivity has improved a lot between countries all over the globe. Tourists from different corners of the world travel every year to see the magnificent beauty of Bhutan’s landscape and its unique culture. In this solo trip guide to Bhutan we will inform you about all the necessary routes to explore the best places in Bhutan.

There are basically two routes which you can take to reach Bhutan:

By Flight

You can reach Bhutan directly from Bagdogra Airport. Just keep in mind to book the tickets in advance as the flights travel to Bhutan two to three days a week.

Another way is that, you can travel to Bagdogra Airport from any major airports of India and take a private taxi to Phuentsholing, which may cost you around Rs.1700/- Rs.2000/- to reach your destination.

By Train

You can take any train which is going to NJP/Guwahati/Kolkata and get down, as soon as the train reaches Siliguri or Hasimara station. Once you reach there, take your next bus to Jaigaon which is the border town that connects Bhutan and India and eventually you can enter Bhutan through Bhutan Gate.

Siliguri-Jaigaon

You can get bus service from Siliguri to Jaigaon. For a solo trip to Bhutan by road, you can take the available buses that will directly drop you near the Bhutan Gate. The first bus starts at 7am and reaches Jaigaon at around 12pm.

Time: 4 hours approx

Cost: Rs. 80- Rs.120

Hasimara-Jaigaon

If you want to travel to Jaigaon from Hasimara, you will get plenty of shared or private auto services to that place.

Time: 30-45 mins

Cost: Rs.50- Rs.80(Shared), Rs.100- Rs.300 (Private)

Finally, after one and half days of road travel or two and half days of train travel, you will reach Jaigaon. While travelling you can make new friends, talk with local drivers and get to know more about the place throughout the entire journey.

Although the roads might seem similar to the roads of Indian cities, once you cross the bhutan gate, the atmosphere appears completely different with well organised traffic, clean roads, and fresh air which will make your solo trip to Bhutan by road worthwhile.
