As there are limited options for flying into Bhutan, you’ll need to first fly to one of the gateway cities – Kathmandu, Bangkok, Delhi, Singapore, Dubai, or Kolkata. To accommodate for flight delays and weather, we recommend a minimum of 24 hours between your Bhutan flight and your long haul flight, both when going to and coming from Bhutan. You can find more information on flights here.
A stopover of two to four nights before Bhutan and as long as your schedule allows for after can make for a truly special holiday, packing multiple countries into one trip (or the reverse, of course!). Depending on where you choose, it can also help with acclimating to higher altitudes or adjusting your body clock to the region’s time zone. Below you’ll find links to stopover ideas and information about each country. Every holiday we sell is tailor made so the itineraries are meant as inspiration. Once we know what interests you, we can create a bespoke plan that suits your preferences.
