Entering Bhutan is interesting (avoiding the Himalayan peaks for a start. Spotting a Yeti hiding. The last one could be hallucination. But then again, is it?). You most likely have to fly
in with the Royal Bhutanese Airlines, Druk Air either from Bangkok, New Delhi,
Calcutta, Kathmandu, Dhaka and (off and on) Bodhgaya, Rangoon, Singapore and
Bombay. The first four are the reliable ones. The flight is interesting if your
interests include roller coasters and similar thrills. I don't mean up and
down- I remember once when I was a passenger this lady from somewhere abroad
actually let out a scream while the plane was circling to land at Paro, our
only international airport. But let me not get sidetracked.
Most tourists enter and depart from Paro, one hour from
Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan. However, some tourists include Sikkim and
Darjeeling in India in their itinerary.
They have the option of going (or coming) by road from Phuentsholing in
the south (5 hours from both Paro or Thimphu, the capital). There's also
another gateway in the east in Samdrup Jongkhar where you can exit (or enter)
from Gauhati in Assam.
These here then are the comings and goings into and out of
the tiny Kingdom of Bhutan... can I mention here details of everything
(everything about Bhutan, well, traveling to Bhutan) can be found (that is, if
you click there) at http://www.bhutanrebirth.com. Go for it, nothing to lose,
let us welcome you to the website at least... it's not that bad, I
promise....worth some clicks... ;)
