How to reach Bhutan from Delhi
Airline companies in Bhutan operate a direct flight from Delhi to Paro Bhutan. It is the easiest and most convenient option to get to Bhutan from Delhi albeit a little expensive compared to the other option, that is travelling to Bhutan by road. If you are travelling by air, you will be issued the entry permit on arrival at the airport without having to go to the immigration office and apply for the entry permit which takes a very long time.
Another option as mentioned before is travelling by road. If you are considering this option then you will have to reach Jaigaon. It is a town in the Alipurduar district, West Bengal, India. It the town shares border with Phuntsoling Bhutan. For your information, the closest Indian Airport to this town is the Bagdogra airport and the closest railway station is the Hasimara railyway station.
