Flights to Bhutan
Dreaming of a journey to the last Shangri-La? Flights to Bhutan are your gateway to a Himalayan kingdom where happiness is measured and ancient traditions thrive amidst breathtaking peaks. As the only way to reach this exclusive destination, booking flights to Bhutan involves landing at the dramatic Paro International Airport (PBH), one of the world’s most challenging and scenic approaches.
Travel to this secluded nation is uniquely managed, requiring all visitors (except those from India, Bangladesh, and the Maldives) to book through a licensed tour operator as part of a pre-paid, all-inclusive package. This means your flight to Bhutan is typically arranged alongside your visa, sustainable daily fee, guides, accommodations, and private transfers, ensuring a seamless and culturally respectful experience from the moment you touch down.
Whether you’re connecting via flights to Paro from Singapore, Bangkok, Kathmandu, or Delhi, you’ll embark on an adventure to explore towering dzongs, serene monasteries like the Tiger’s Nest, and pristine landscapes. Discover the unparalleled beauty and profound peace of the Dragon Kingdom—your extraordinary journey begins with securing your flight.
Major Airports & Gateways
Paro (PBH): Bhutan’s only international airport and primary gateway, located in Paro Valley; it handles flights to regional hubs like Bangkok, Delhi, Kathmandu, and Kolkata, and is the main entry point for international travelers.
Other Airports: Bumthang (BUT), Gelephu (GLU), and Yongphulla (YON) have little or no direct international service; most travelers enter Bhutan via Paro (PBH) and connect onward domestically.
Best Time to Fly
The best time to fly to Bhutan is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. During these months, the weather is generally clear, skies are blue, and temperatures are moderate, making it ideal for sightseeing, trekking, and enjoying the country’s spectacular landscapes. Spring offers the added beauty of blooming rhododendrons across the Himalayan hills, while autumn brings crisp air and vibrant festivals like the Paro and Thimphu Tshechus. The monsoon season (June to August) is generally less favorable due to heavy rainfall, landslides, and limited visibility, and the winter months (December to February) can be cold with occasional snow at higher altitudes. Flying during spring or autumn ensures pleasant travel conditions, better flight reliability, and the best opportunities to explore Bhutan’s cultural and natural attractions.
Flights to Paro
Book your flight to Paro, Bhutan, and embark on a journey to the heart of the Himalayas. Paro International Airport (PBH) is your exclusive gateway to the Kingdom of Bhutan, famed for its dramatic mountain landing and status as one of the world’s most challenging airports. As the only international entry point, flights to Paro connect you to a land of ancient Dzongs, pristine valleys, and a deeply preserved Buddhist culture. Whether you’re planning a spiritual pilgrimage to the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang) or seeking a curated, sustainable travel experience, securing your flight is the first step to discovering Bhutan’s unique philosophy of Gross National Happiness.
