About Bhutan
- Our packages5 to 6 nights
- Best timeMar, Apr, May, Oct, Nov
- Visa for IndiansNo visa needed
Bhutan is a Himalayan, landlocked country in South Asia, known for tightly managed tourism, fortress-monasteries and living Buddhist traditions. For Indian travellers the entry is simple: no visa is needed, though an entry permit and a nightly Sustainable Development Fee apply. English is widely used in tourism, and the Indian rupee is widely accepted at roughly one-to-one with the ngultrum.
A first trip is made of a western circuit. Paro has the airport and Tiger's Nest, the cliffside monastery. Thimphu, the capital, offers Tashichho Dzong, craft markets and Buddha Dordenma. Punakha has the riverside Punakha Dzong, reached over Dochula Pass. With more time, Phobjikha Valley adds Gangtey Monastery and winter black-necked cranes, and Bumthang adds some of the kingdom's oldest temples.
Most visitors fly into Paro International Airport (PBH), with direct flights from Delhi and Kolkata. Five days works well for the western circuit, and seven days is ideal. Road journeys between valleys take substantial time, so a slower plan pays off. Choose from Bhutan Family 5N, Bhutan Discovery 6N and Bhutan Festival (Tshechu) Special 6N, or ask us to customise one.
Our planners keep Tiger's Nest on its own day, group sights by valley and state every inclusion in writing. For deeper planning, read our Bhutan travel guide, places to visit in Bhutan and Bhutan trip cost. Travellers who also want Nepal can see our Nepal tour packages.

Our verdict
March to May and October to November are the best months to visit Bhutan. October has clear skies and strong mountain views, and April brings mild days and spring flowers. December to February is cold and dry, with freezing nights. June to August is the monsoon, when rain, cloud and road delays are more likely. Late September is better than early September.

Day by day
Sample 6-day Bhutan itinerary
Based on our Bhutan Family 5N package. Your trip expert can stretch or shorten any day.
- Day1
Arrive in Paro and drive to Thimphu
Land at Paro International Airport and meet your driver. The drive to Thimphu is about 50 km and normally takes one to one and a half hours, depending on traffic and weather. Check in and rest. Keep the first evening light, because the altitude and the journey can tire children.
- Day2
Thimphu sightseeing
Spend the day in Bhutan's capital. Visit Tashichho Dzong, browse the craft markets and see Buddha Dordenma. Your driver groups the sights by area, so you avoid repeated cross-town driving. Plan breaks for snacks and rest, and ask for shorter stops if the children are restless.
- Day3
Dochula Pass and Punakha
Drive from Thimphu over Dochula Pass, known for its memorial chortens and Himalayan views, although cloud can hide the panorama. Continue to Punakha, check in and rest. This is a longer road day, so travel with snacks and let your driver stop where the children need a break.
- Day4
Punakha Dzong and the return to Paro
Visit Punakha Dzong beside the river, the former seat of government and one of Bhutan's most photogenic fortresses. After the visit, drive back toward Paro. Road journeys between the valleys take substantial time, so we plan an unhurried start and a flexible finish. Check in and rest.
- Day5
Tiger's Nest, at your family's pace
Tiger's Nest is a demanding hike and not compulsory for young children. Hike as far as your family wishes, or spend the day on gentler sightseeing in the Paro valley instead. We keep this day free of other plans, so altitude, weather and energy decide what you do.
- Day6
Departure from Paro
Enjoy breakfast and check out. Your driver takes you to Paro International Airport for departure. Paro flights are weather-sensitive, so do not book a tight onward connection on the same day. Allow plenty of time for check-in.
Budget guide
How much does a Bhutan trip cost?
Starting prices of our packages, per person on twin sharing, excl. GST and flights.
Several things move the price of a Bhutan trip. The nightly Sustainable Development Fee applies for every night you stay, so trip length matters most. Hotel category and meal plan come next. Private vehicle and driver are normal in Bhutan and add to the total. Season and festival dates raise rates. Remote routes and domestic flights add more. Flights to Paro are not included in our packages. Read more in Bhutan trip cost.

FAQs
Bhutan tour package FAQs
Quick answers to what travellers ask before booking a Bhutan trip. Ask your trip expert anything else.
How many days are enough for Bhutan?
Five days covers Paro, Thimphu and Punakha. Seven days is ideal for a less rushed western Bhutan trip with Phobjikha Valley or Haa. Three days is tight and covers only Paro and Thimphu. Ten days or more suits a Bumthang extension.
What is the best time to visit Bhutan?
March to May and October to November are generally best, with comfortable temperatures and clear views. October is peak autumn season. December to February is cold and dry, while June to August is the wet monsoon with more road disruption.
Do Indians need a visa for Bhutan?
No. Indian nationals do not need a visa, but they must obtain an entry permit using a valid Indian passport or voter ID. A nightly Sustainable Development Fee also applies. Check current rules with Bhutan Immigration before you travel.
Is Bhutan expensive for Indian tourists?
It is usually more expensive than Nepal or Indian Himalayan alternatives, because of the nightly fee, private transport norms, limited flights and a small supply of hotels. Travelling in shoulder season and keeping to western Bhutan helps control costs.
How do I get to Bhutan from India?
Most visitors fly to Paro International Airport. Direct flights operate from Delhi and Kolkata, and other cities usually connect through one of them. You can also enter overland through Phuentsholing from West Bengal.
Can Indians travel to Bhutan without a tour package?
Yes, Indians may travel independently. Many still choose a package, because private transport and prebooked hotels are more practical for routes across several valleys, and permits are easier to arrange together.
Is Bhutan suitable for families?
Yes. Bhutan is generally considered safe and culturally welcoming. Families should plan shorter driving days, confirm family rooms and avoid making the Tiger's Nest hike compulsory for young children.
Do your Bhutan packages include flights?
No. Our packages are land-only and cover hotels, transfers, sightseeing by private vehicle and visa and entry permit assistance as listed. Flights are booked separately. Travel insurance and the items marked as extras in your itinerary are also separate.
Which places should a first trip include?
Most first trips combine Paro with Tiger's Nest, Thimphu and Punakha. Add Phobjikha Valley or Haa Valley if you have seven days. Travellers often say Paro and Thimphu form the core, with Punakha added when time allows.
How far ahead should I book a Bhutan package?
Book early. Bhutan has limited flight frequencies and room inventory, and festival dates reduce availability sharply. October to November and March to May combine strong demand with better weather, so reserve Paro flights and hotels well in advance.
