Bhutan is 38,394 square kilometres. Think the same size as Switzerland and similarly land-locked and mountainous. Even the houses have a similarity in their shape and look.
By air is easiest from Bangkok, Singapore, Kolkata, Delhi, Bagdogra & Kathmandu. As at OCT19 there is just one land border crossing open for tourist visitors at Phuentsholing from West Bengal (India)
This varies between each valley. The lowest region in the south bordering India is around 450 m and the highest Himalaya peaks in the north, bordering China/Tibet, are over 7000 m. The main valleys traversed by the single west-east highway, in central Bhutan, range between 2300 m in western Bhutan (Paro & Thimphu); down to 1250 m in Punakha; up to 3000 m in Phobjikha (central) and around 1500 m in the eastern Bhutan region.
The Lonely Planet has just rated Bhutan as the no. 1 travel destination to visit in 2020. And we naturally concur. The Bhutanese have to be the most delightful people on the planet! So forward thinking yet so dedicted to their heritage, culture & environment.
Winter in Bhutan is also a dry, usually sunny & clear season so great for exploring and hiking. Mountain views are at their best and it is also lower in cost and usually with less tourist visitors. Both very good reasons to contemplate a visit at this time of year.
Did you know every tourist visitor to Bhutan (except for regional travellers from India & Bangladesh) makes an incredible contribution to all the Bhutanese people and their well-being!
