By AirBy RoadBy TrainBy Sea
Bagdogra to Thimphu2.0 hours8.0 hours--

If you are looking for the answer to how to reach Thimphu from Bagdogra, then your search ends here. Bagdogra is the town that has the second international airport in West Bengal. The total distance between Thimphu and Bagdogra is approx. 157 km by air. It takes just 1 hour to travel to Thimphu from Bagdogra by flight. There are no direct flights for Thimphu from Bagdogra. You can take a direct flight to Paro from Bagdogra and then travel to Thimphu from Paro.  

 

Bagdogra to Thimphu by flight:

The airport has two Bagdogra to Thimphu flights every week going to the Paro airport. Paro is the only airport in Bhutan and since it is only 1.5 hours away from Thimphu, going from Bagdogra to Thimphu by air is quite convenient. Bagdogra International Airport is the main airport in Bagdogra and Paro International Airport is the nearest airport to Thimphu at a distance of 47 km approx. The flights are run by Druk Air – Bhutan’s national carrier, and as of now they only fly on Sundays and Tuesdays from Bagdogra. The journey takes only 1 hour, and thus one can easily reach from Bagdogra to Thimphu in less than 2.5 hours altogether.

 

Bagdogra to Thimphu by Car: 

If one chooses to take the roadway, it is not an impossible one but certainly a very long-drawn one. Bagdogra to Thimphu distance is nearly 330 kilometers by road, which takes more than 8 hours to drive. So unless someone specifically wants to make the road trip, going from Bagdogra to Thimphu by road is not very wise. 

 

Bagdogra to Thimphu by Bus:

There is Bagdogra to Thimphu bus route which is easy to follow. There are buses from Bagdogra station which takes one to the border at Phuentsholing and from there another bus or taxi can take the visitor to Thimphu. From Phuentsholing, it takes around 5 to 6 hours to reach Thimphu. 

 

Bagdogra to Thimphu by Train: 

 

Hasimara is the nearest Indian railway station to Thimphu in Bhutan, which can be reached from NJP station in Siliguri or Sealdah station in Kolkata. In the same manner as before, one can take a cab or auto to the border at Jaigaon- Phuentsholing from Hasimara to reach Thimphu.

    Yash's 11 days trip to Thimphu

    Had a lifetime of an experience in Bhutan. Our guide Dil & our driver Shireen were very helpful & coordinating. Dil gave us proper tour of every spot we visited & never made us rush into things. We had a very smooth drive with Shireen even when there was lot of snow on the road. The owner of Ad Trav
    els as well as our Agent Meg from Ad Travels was very cooperative, understanding & welcoming. Shoutout to the whole team & I would personally recommend them to whoever is planning to Visit Bhutan

    James's 8 days trip to Thimphu

    The tour operator was patient, flexible with the itinerary, always available for communication, and helped me with everything I asked for. He had organized the tour perfectly according to my group's needs and choices, with great accomodations and places to visit, based on our interests. The guide a
    nd driver assigned for our group were equally amazing and made the trip memorable with long lasting memories. I highly recommend choosing this operator because of the above, and to make your vacation amazing.

    Sgsudheendra's 6 days trip to Thimphu

    I want to extend my sincere thanks to the overall experience that I have had in Bhutan to AD Tours & Travels. I have had a wonderful guide in Mr Sonam Tshering for being knowledgeable and guiding us in the whole journey. He was kind and considerate all throughout our journey. I appreciate the way he
    shared his wisdom with us and brought us closer to the culture of Bhutan making our trip to Bhutan more meaningful. Again, thank you for making this journey a pleasant and memorable one. We have certainly loved our stay here in Bhutan. Bhutan is a must place for one to visit. It is a country which has a different culture and vibe to it. It is clean throughout and the reason is simply because it is imbibed in the culture and people of Bhutan. People live a simple life and our happy and it shows in the Gross National Happiness (GNH) Index which is a unique way to measure the happiness and well-being of the Bhutanese people. My guide was also knowledgeable which helped me gain more insights in their ways of living and Bhuddism too. All in all, it was a trip with lovely memories.

    Vinaya Gowda

    Bagdogra international airport

    Vinaya's 5 days trip to Thimphu

    It was an average trip. By looking at the positive reviews I expected a better service. I travelled solo and it was safe and comfortable but guide they provided was lazy and not interested. He came late one day and skipped few places. Drivers were good. On my way back to airport driver was giving mo
    re information than my Bhutan guide. Guide Namgey was good on first day who had to rush for an emergency, only to be replaced by a bad guide. Their choice of hotels are not so good as they are away from the city in Thimphu and Paro. I liked Thimphu hotel though. Travel agents were helpful sometimes but I had to ask them driver and guide details multiple times which was frustrating. Sometimes there was poor or late response. I realised that the guide skipped places at the end of the tour and they stopped replying to my messages or calls without even acknowledging their mistake. They even blamed me for not informing earlier. I wasn't expecting to be cheated like this, otherwise I would have been cautious. It was my mistake ultimately according to them. They haven't acknowledged guide mistake till now. Please choose your travel agents carefully.
