Air: The most convenient way of entering Bhutan is by DrukAir, the country’s national (and so far only) carrier. As flights can be delayed due to weather conditions (particularly during the summer months), it is advisable to allow 24 hours before any onward connection.

The following stations are connected with DrukAir Flights:

India (Delhi, Kolkatta, Guwahati, Bodh Gaya, Bagdora)
