Create Your Own Ultimate Guide — From Visa to Valleys!

Bhutan, the serene Himalayan kingdom, offers travellers an unforgettable blend of awe-inspiring landscapes, rich culture, and spiritual calm. At Columbus Academy, we believe exploring destinations like Bhutan doesn’t just refresh the mind—it transforms your perspective. Whether you’re charting a career in travel and tourism or planning your own adventure, the right planning makes all the difference.
 

Entry & Travel Formalities

For Indian nationals, the process is refreshingly simple. You don’t need a traditional visa to enter Bhutan, but you’ll need an Entry Permit, either at the airport (Paro International Airport) or at land borders like Phuentsholing. If you plan to travel beyond Paro or Thimphu, a Route Permit is required.

Flights into Paro or land travel via border towns offer flexibility. Independent travel is limited, so it’s wise to go through a registered tour operator or guide when planning deeper explorations.

Accommodation & Getting Around

Bhutan offers a range of accommodations—from luxurious resorts to boutique hotels and cozy guesthouses—often included in tour packages. Local travel is generally managed by your tour provider through private vehicles, domestic flights, and guided treks. Public transport is limited, so pre-planned tours ensure a smoother experience.

Suggested 7-Day Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive in Paro, explore the town and its iconic dzong fortress.
Day 2: Trek to the legendary Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Taktsang).
Day 3–4: Head to Thimphu, explore its culture, markets, and landmarks.

Travel Tips

Best travel months are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) for clear skies and pleasant weather. Dress modestly for monastery visits, carry comfortable shoes, and travel mindfully—Bhutan values sustainability and respect for nature.
