One of the best options for travellers heading to Bhutan by land is New Jalpaiguri Station in Siliguri. Direct shared taxis and buses from Siliguri to Jaigaon are available.

By Train and Bus – As the area between the border and Delhi is quite lenghty, you cannot reach it by pure bus journey. A better privilege would be a combination of both train and bus journey. So your route would be:

Delhi > Train to Kolkata > Bus to Jaigaon – Phuentsholing

Reach By Air

1. Direct Flight from Delhi to Bhutan – The Paro International Airport is the only runway in Bhutan that has international arrivals. It has direct flights from Bagdogra, Delhi, Guwahati, Kolkata and Mumbai. The only airservice running from it are Bhutan Airlines and Druk Air. Flights can be booked only through the websites of these airlines.

Flights from Delhi to Paro (Bhutan)

AirlineFlight NumberDeparture TimeArrival TimeScheduleFare
Druk Air2056:3010:25Monday, Wednesday and FridayRs. 31,623 (Economy)
Bhutan AirlinesB377412:3516:15Tuesday, Thursday and SaturdayRs. 31,623 (Economy)

As you can have a look here, flights from Delhi to Paro in Bhutan can be quite expensive. Journey duration is very short though as compared to road journey as it is only about 4 to 5 hours in total. Once you arrive the Paro International Airport, you just need to show your passport and identification proof then you’re entry permit would be given to you.

2. Alternative (Road + Air) – Another good option is to reach either Kolkata or Bagdogra by land and then from there, take a flight to reach Paro. This would cost considerably less although you do have to spend some money on your road journey too.
