Bhutan is a beautiful country, known as one of the cleanest in Asia, with untouched nature and a peaceful atmosphere. It's a popular travel destination for 2024/25 holidays. Now, you can travel to this amazing place from many major cities in India, including Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Guwahati. Among these, the Bhutan Package Tour from Guwahati is considered the best option. But why is that?
The reason is simple: only three cities in India [Delhi, Kolkata, and Guwahati] have direct flights connectivity to Bhutan
A direct flight from Delhi to Paro can be quite expensive, with return fares around Rs. 48,800 per person. On the other hand, a return flight from Guwahati to Paro costs only Rs. 22,600 per person. If you're traveling from Delhi, you can fly to Guwahati first for about Rs. 10,000 return. So, if you fly from Delhi to Paro via Guwahati, the total cost comes to Rs. 32,600 per person (Rs. 22,600 + Rs. 10,000). This means you save nearly Rs. 15,000 per person! For three people, that’s a savings of around Rs. 50,000! Isn't that amazing?
So, for travelers from Delhi, booking a Bhutan Package via Guwahati Airport is the best option to save money and enjoy a wonderful trip. The same procedure can be applicable for Mumbai & Bangalore travelers also.

The best part is, the Guwahati to Paro Direct Flight departs at 3:20 PM every Sunday. This gives guests plenty of time to reach Guwahati Airport from Delhi by morning flight and catch the flight to Bhutan.
An even more exciting update is that, starting April 6th, there will be an additional Guwahati to Paro Direct Flight. This new flight will depart Guwahati on Thursdays, and the return flight from Paro to Guwahati will be on Wednesdays. So, the Guwahati to Paro Flight Schedule will be as follows:
Airlines | Flight No | Origin | Departure | Destination | Dep Days |
Drukair-Royal Bhutan Airlines | KB 541 | [GAU] | 15:20 | [PBH] | Every Sunday |
Drukair-Royal Bhutan Airlines | KB 541 | [GAU] | 15:20 | [PBH] | Every Thursday [Start from 6th April] |
Drukair-Royal Bhutan Airlines | KB 540 | [PBH] | 08:05 | [GAU] | Every Saturday |
Drukair-Royal Bhutan Airlines | KB 540 | [PBH] | 08:05 | [GAU] | Every Wednesday [Start from 12th April] |
We all know that Mumbai to Bhutan direct flight don't operate throughout the year. So, for Mumbai to Bhutan travellers, there is a great solution too. From Mumbai, there is a direct morning flight to Guwahati. The Indigo Airlines flight departs from Mumbai Terminal at around 06:10 AM and arrives at Guwahati Airport at 09:20 AM. The flight duration is approximately 3 hours and 10 minutes. According to international travel norms, passengers should arrive at the airport 3 hours before the flight time, so Mumbai travellers will have enough time to catch the flight from Guwahati to Paro on the same day.
This means that Mumbai travellers can reach Bhutan on the same day by connecting through Guwahati, and it’s also a more cost-effective option. So, we can confidently say that booking a Bhutan Package Tour from Guwahati Airport is the best budget-friendly choice.

Summer in Bhutan spans from June to September, with temperatures in central Bhutan typically ranging between 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. The weather is generally sunny and mildly humid, while the nights can get quite chilly, so light woolen clothes or jackets are advisable. The landscapes around cities and tourist attractions are lush and green, and the clear skies offer a breathtaking view of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks. If you visit during this period, you can also experience the Haa Festival, which showcases Bhutanese cuisine, culture, traditions, and lifestyle. With fewer crowds, you can peacefully explore numerous sightseeing spots. Therefore, summer is one of the best seasons to opt for Bhutan Holiday Packages from Guwahati with Adorable Vacation.
Autumn is widely regarded as the best season for Bhutan tour booking from Adorable Vacation via Guwahati Airport. The weather during this time is quite pleasant, ranging from 10 to 15 degrees, making sightseeing and travel enjoyable throughout the day, while the nights are comfortably chilly. This is also the festive season in Bhutan, offering travelers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and vibrant festivals of the country. Festivals such as the Black-Necked Crane Festival, Paro Tshechu, and Punakha Tshechu are celebrated with great enthusiasm, with dzongs and monasteries coming alive with colorful flags, large Thonkas, and masked dances. For tourists, it’s the perfect time to visit. However, Adorable Vacation recommends booking your in advance during the summer months to avoid the peak season rush and the unavailability of flights and hotel rooms.
Winter in Bhutan can be quite harsh. Due to the high Himalayan altitude, temperatures drop rapidly, and cities like Thimphu, Paro, and Punakha are often blanketed in snow, creating a serene and still atmosphere. In the northern, high-altitude regions, temperatures can even fall to sub-zero levels. As the weather becomes severe, the government of Bhutan typically declares holidays for schools, colleges, and government offices. Travel between different regions may become difficult due to heavy snowfalls. However, if you're keen to experience the snow and cold and want to enjoy the festivals that occur during winter, you can certainly plan your Bhutan package tour in December. Some of the notable festivals, like Monggar Tshechu, Trashigang Tshechu, Lhuntse Tshechu, and Trongsa Tshechu, take place between November and December. So, if you’re excited about experiencing Bhutan's winter charm, don't hesitate to book your Bhutan tour from Guwahati with Adorable Vacation this season. Winter in Bhutan is truly magical!
After the cold and harsh winter, Bhutan comes to life during spring. The blooming of Jacaranda and Rhododendron flowers marks the arrival of spring, carpeting the roads, valleys, and surroundings in purple petals, creating a heavenly atmosphere. From March to May, the weather is typically dry with minimal rainfall, and the skies become crystal clear, signaling the perfect time for the world-famous Jomolhari and Drukpath treks. Additionally, this period hosts some of the most significant and auspicious festivals, including Paro Tshechu, Gasa Tshechu, Rhododendron festivals, and Talo Tshechu, where the King of Bhutan also actively participates. Since Bhutan is usually bustling with tourists during these months, Adorable Vacation advises booking your Bhutan package in May well in advance, along with your flights, to avoid the peak season surcharges, extra hotel costs, and increased flight prices.

Start your day with a hot cup of Suja (Butter Tea) as the sun shines over the beautiful Thimphu valley. After enjoying breakfast, get ready for a tour of Thimphu's local attractions.
The National Memorial Chorten (Thimphu Chorten) : This place is where many locals come for evening prayers. It was built in memory of Bhutan’s third king, Jigme Dorji Wangchuk, and was completed in 1974 after his untimely death. People walk around the chorten, spinning prayer wheels and chanting mantras. It stands as a symbol of peace and prosperity.
The Clock Tower : Located in the center of Thimphu, the Clock Tower Square is a beautiful example of Bhutanese architecture. The tower has four clock faces and is decorated with intricate carvings of flowers, paintings, and dragons. The dragons are facing each clock and represent the country’s independence. This area is popular for both locals and tourists, and it’s surrounded by shops, restaurants, and hotels. The square often hosts live music events, making it a lively spot. You can also buy gifts here or enjoy a picnic in the nearby playground.
Sakyamuni Buddha : On top of Kuensel Phodrang hill stands the giant statue of Buddha Dordenma. This 51.5-meter statue is made of gilded bronze, and it offers a stunning view of the valley. It’s a peaceful and breathtaking site, also known as Buddha Viewpoint.
Changangkha Lhakhang : One of the oldest and most important monasteries in Thimphu, dating back to the 15th century. It’s dedicated to Avalokiteshvara, the symbol of compassion. From here, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Thimphu valley.
Takin Zoo : This zoo is home to Bhutan's national animal, the Takin, an endangered species found only in Bhutan. The animals live in an open habitat, allowing you to see them in a more natural environment.
Trashi Chhoe Dzong : Known as the Fortress of the Glorious Region, this site is a must-visit. It sits on the west bank of the Wang Chhu River and is the coronation site of Bhutan’s fifth king. It also hosts the annual Tsechu Festival. Built in 1641, it was later rebuilt in the 1960s using traditional Bhutanese methods, without nails or architectural plans. You’ll spend the night at a hotel in Thimphu.
Start your day with a cup of Hot Ngaja (sweet Bhutanese milk tea) and enjoy the view of the beautiful valley from your room. After breakfast, head to Punakha, the former capital of Bhutan. Punakha is a peaceful place, much quieter than the busy cities, sitting at an altitude of 1200 meters. It’s warm in winter and cool in summer. The valley is famous for growing red and white rice along the Pho and Mo Chu rivers. On the way, you’ll visit:
Punakha Dzong: Also called "The Palace of Great Happiness", this stunning fortress sits at the meeting point of the Pho Chhu (father) and Mo Chhu (mother) rivers. It’s one of the most beautiful dzongs in Bhutan. The dzong is connected to the mainland by an arched wooden bridge and is home to many valuable relics from the time when the kings ruled Bhutan from this valley.
Suspension Bridge: This hidden gem in the Punakha Valley connects the valley to the old administrative center of Punakha Dzongkhag. The bridge is covered with prayer flags and offers a great spot for birdwatching and taking photos.
Chimi Lhakhang (Fertility Temple): Located on a hill, this temple is dedicated to Lama Drukpa Kuenley, also known as the 'Divine Madman.' He used humor and songs to teach his lessons. Chimi Lhakhang is considered a fertility temple, and it is believed that childless couples who visit and pray here will be blessed by Lama Drukpa Kuenley. The temple is reached by walking along a beautiful rural path through paddy fields. After crossing a small stream, a short climb will take you to the temple. You will stay overnight at a hotel in Punakha.
As the Sun shines up high in the Land of Happiness, open your eyes to a beautiful morning in the lap of serene nature, and sip into your cup of hot tea while admiring the green valley from your bed before moving towards Phobjikha Valley post breakfast.
Phobjikha Valley : A treat for all nature lovers, and an idle place for spotting various birds, including the famous Black Necked Cranes that migrate to this valley. Being one of the most important wildlife preserves in Bhutan, this serene and untouched beauty of nature away from the hustle-bustle of the city life is a pleasure to enjoy with the happiest people surrounding the entire region that makes this place worth the visit. The Phobjikha Valley is the largest and the widest in Bhutan and is known for the panoramic vistas with tranquil nature that not only call the nature lovers to witness its beauty but also traps the adventure buffs who wish to follow the trekking and hiking routes while exploring the untouched beauty of nature. Overnight at hotel in Punakha.
After breakfast, start your journey to Paro and visit the following places on the way:
National Museum of Bhutan : Located above Rinpung Dzong in Paro, the National Museum of Bhutan showcases Bhutan’s culture. The museum was built in 1968 inside the old Ta Dzong building. It displays some of the best examples of Bhutanese art and culture, including beautiful paintings and bronze statues. The museum has large galleries where you can learn about Bhutan’s history and culture.
Drukgyal Dzong : Drukgyal Dzong was a fortress and Buddhist monastery, now in ruins, located in the upper Paro Valley. It was built in 1649 to celebrate Bhutan’s victory over a Tibetan invasion. The site is currently closed.
Ta Dzong : Ta Dzong was originally a watchtower built to protect Rinpung Dzong during the 17th-century wars. It became the National Museum of Bhutan in 1968.
Rinpung Dzong : Built in 1646 by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, the first ruler of Bhutan, Rinpung Dzong houses the monks of Paro, the district head (Dzongda), and the judge (Thrimpon). To reach the dzong, you cross a traditional covered bridge called Nemi Zam.
Nya Mey Zam Bridge : Known as "The Bridge with No Fish," this bridge connects Paro Town to the Dzong. Locals believe that seeing a fish in the river is a bad omen. The original bridge, which could be folded during times of war, was destroyed in a flood in 1969.
Paro Airport View Point : This viewpoint offers the best view of Paro Valley and Paro Airport. You can see the Paro River, the dzongs, and monasteries from here. Overnight stay at a hotel in Paro.
Wake up in the beautiful Paro Valley as the sun rises, surrounded by nature. Enjoy the amazing view of the river and mountains. Have a hearty breakfast with plenty of protein, because the hike to Taktsang Monastery will require some energy.
Taktsang Monastery: The hike to Taktsang Monastery, also known as the Tiger's Nest, takes you up a steep cliff for 1,200 meters. Once you reach the top, take a deep breath and enjoy the fresh air and the incredible view of the valley below. The monastery was built in 1694 and is a sacred site founded by Guru Rinpoche, who brought Buddhism to Bhutan in 747 CE. After a 3-hour trek, you’ll reach the monastery. If you prefer, you can take a horse ride from the parking lot to the top.

Hi Reva Adorable, we had a time of our lives in Bhutan with your amazing itinerary... Our tour manager wasn't with us but he operated everything from a good distance. Our guide Sonam ji and Pilot ji made our trip memorable by showing us Bhutan's amazing hidden gems. We are looking forward to come back to Bhutan and explore the other hidden gems soon in the near future with greater Travel Spirit, enthusiasm, Curiosity to see and know more places... I would like to add one more thing, I really appreciate that Bhutan is preserving their culture and traditions for the next generation.
