Airlines
Bhutan has two national airlines. Routes, frequencies and aircraft change from season to season, so we check the current schedule when we plan your trip rather than listing it here.
Choosing a connection
Many travellers connect through a regional hub. Which one suits you depends on where you live and how you would like to combine Bhutan with other places. Tell us your departure city and we will suggest routings.
Tips for flying in
- Flights operate in daylight only and can be delayed by weather — allow a spare day before any onward international connection.
- Sit on the left side from Delhi or Kathmandu, and on the right from Bangkok, for the best mountain views.
- Pack essentials in your carry-on; luggage allowances on small aircraft can be strict.
- Our team monitors your arrival and will adjust the day’s plans if flights are late.
Domestic flights
Domestic flights link Paro with Bumthang, Gelephu and Yonphula on a limited schedule. They can save considerable driving time, and we include them where they make sense.

Common questions
Do you book flights?
Yes. We can book flights to and from Paro with Bhutan's national carriers as part of your package, or advise if you prefer to arrange them yourself.
Will I see the Himalaya from the plane?
On clear days, yes. Sit on the left side when flying in from Delhi or Kathmandu for the best chance of Himalayan views including Everest, Kanchenjunga and Jomolhari.
