Via Flight

Bhutan has only one international airport, which is Paro International Airport, located in western Bhutan, and it is known for being one of the most difficult airports in the world due to its mountainous surroundings and lack of radar-based landing systems.

Travelers can reach Bhutan only through a few regional gateway cities, including Dhaka, Delhi, Kolkata, Guwahati, Bagdogra, Bodh Gaya, Kathmandu, Singapore (Changi), and Bangkok, as there are no long-haul direct flights from outside Asia. Currently, only two airlines operate international flights to Bhutan, which are Drukair, the national flag carrier, and Bhutan Airlines, a private airline, both of which connect Bhutan with nearby Asian countries under strict aviation and tourism regulations.

Via Road

Visitors can also enter Bhutan by road through the southern border town of Phuentsholing, which is the main gateway for most travelers arriving overland. Indian nationals have additional land entry points available, including Gelephu, Samdrup Jongkhar, and Samtse, which help facilitate cross-border travel between Bhutan and India.

Inside the country, domestic air travel is available through Bhutan's national carriers, connecting key regional destinations such as Bumthang in central Bhutan, Gelephu in the south, and Yonphula in Trashigang in eastern Bhutan, making it easier to access remote parts of the country despite its mountainous terrain.
