Indians who are planning to travel Bhutan by road need to cross the border town of Phuentsholing. Apart from that, buses and taxis from the neighboring places are also available to travel Bhutan. Jaigaon is another such place in India where travelers can easily access Bhutan through the Indo-Bhutan border.
Even though Bhutan’s rail network is not connected like the rest of the world. But visitors can reach Bhutan through Phuentsholing railway station either from Hasimara or New Alipurduar from India and then can continue their journey through the road.
Apart from Indians, citizens from other nations need a mandatory visa to enter Bhutan.
Phuentsholing, Gelephu, and Samdrup Jongkhar are the three major opening pathways through which a visitor can enter Bhutan.
