Bhutan is a small country perched up on the Himalayas, where people believe in being called to the place and contributing to its rich values, beliefs, and nature.
Travelers to Bhutan visit the capital city, Thimphu, where galleries and museums emphasize the country’s history. You must also visit Eastern Bhutan, where quiet valleys, nature reserves, and local culture will provide an authentic experience.
Before you start your trip from India to Bhutan, ensure you know the best time to visit, safety tips and essential travel insurance. To financially recover from any difficulties or uncertain situations that could hamper your trip, you must own travel insurance.
No, travel insurance is not mandatory when travelling to Bhutan, but it is highly advised.
The Indian Embassy of Bhutan recommends having insurance coverage when travelling to Bhutan.
One reason you should purchase travel insurance before travelling to Bhutan is to avail medical benefits if you require treatment easily. Travel insurance can cover you if you experience flight, baggage or accommodation issues.
A $50,000 Bhutan Travel insurance plan from India for 4 days for 1 adult starts from ₹395 (excluding GST).
India is one of the few countries that shares a border with Bhutan and is on very good terms with it. Bhutan visa for Indians is not necessary for Indian citizens.
Though Indians do not need a visa to enter Bhutan, they must carry specific permits and documents while visiting. The travel permit collected from the immigration office and Paro International Airport will allow an Indian to visit Paro and Thimpu only.
