Going on an international trip for the first time, even if it's our neighbouring country, feels like an interweave of emotions. However, you need not worry if you are a first-time traveller to Bhutan, as this travel guide will help you experience the best of everything in Bhutan, the Land of Thunder Dragon.
Perched in the scenic Himalayas, cradled between India & China on either side, Bhutan is a mountain paradise with pristine landscapes, quaint monasteries steeped in history, and a rich cultural extravaganza, making a remarkable commitment to protecting the environment. It is the only country with a unique framework of measuring its progress by Gross National Happiness rather than GDP, indicating a balance among economic development, cultural restoration, and environmental sustainability through responsible governance. Considered one of the carbon-negative countries in the world, 60% of the land is under forest cover, making life liveable for citizens in every aspect. Bhutan’s distinctive philosophy of maintaining authenticity, being rooted in culture and building close connections with nature, has always set it apart.
Even after coming back from the trip, you will remember the majestic Himalayan landscapes, age-old traditions, and spiritual essence.
Depending on your base destination, you can reach Bhutan by any means of transport. If planning to travel by air, Paro International Airport is the only international airport, with domestic airports including Bathpalathang Airport, Yongphula Airport, and Gelephu Airport served by Drukair & Bhutan Airlines. You can easily find direct flights from Bagdogra, Gauhati, Kolkata, New Delhi, and international destinations including Kathmandu, Dhaka, Singapore, & Bangkok to Paro International Airport.
