Getting to Bhutan by Road
If you wish to drive into Bhutan, you can enter and exit Bhutan through its southern gateway of Phuentsholing bordering the Indian state of West Bengal - approximately a five-hour drive from Thimphu. The nearest airport is Bagdogra (IXB), located approximately four hours by road from Phuentsholing.
For those who would like to traverse Bhutan, there is an entry/exit point at Samdrup Jongkhar in southeast Bhutan to the Indian state of Assam. The closest airport is 110 km away in Guwahati (GAU). This is convenient for those flying into Paro in the west and touring across Bhutan without backtracking or vice versa.
