WHAT ARE THE ENTRY RESTRICTIONS IN BHUTAN?
Visitors to Bhutan must be either guest of the government or guest of the Bhutanese family. All tourists must travel on a pre-planned, prepaid, guided package tour. Independent travel is not permitted. Phuntsoling, the economic center of the country, situated on the southern fringes of the country adjoining the Indian border serves as the entry point for one coming overland while Paro serves as the only airport in Bhutan. Druk Air, the national carrier and the only airline operating in Bhutan, connects Bhutan to Calcutta, Bangkok, Kathmandu and Delhi. Leaving Bhutan from the eastern border town of Samdrup Jongkhar is also possible although prior notice is needed.
