You can also enter and exit Bhutan by Overland
- Both entry and exit can be done via Phuentsholing
You can enter/exit Bhutan overland from the Indian state of West Bengal into Phuentsholing, border town in southwest of Bhutan. Four hours drive from Phuentsholing will take you to Bagdogra in the state of West Bengal (India) which is the nearest airport from Phuentsholing. Phuentsholing serves as a convenient point for the travelers wishing to visit the Indian states of Sikkim, West Bengal along with Bhutan. The drive from Phuentsholing to Thimphu takes six hours.
- Both entry and exit can be done via Samdrup Jongkhar
Samdrup Jongkhar is in southeast, 110 km from Guwahati, India, which is nearest to the Guwahati Airport. From Guwahati, you may fly into other Indian cities like Delhi, Bombay or Kolkotta and to your onward flight connections. This exit is more convenient if the travelers do not wish to travel back the same lateral route to Paro for the flights and who would like to combine Assam trips with Bhutan.
