Phuntsholing

I am planning to visit the city of Phuntsholing in August. I hear it is a visa free area as an American. I want to avoid the excessive fees for visiting this country. Will this visit be worthwhile to get a feel for the country? I plan to fly from Delhi to Baghdogra. Is Phuntsholing easy to get to from this city in India? Thanks for any advice. Tim E.

If you plan to see Bhutan - then just a trip to Phuntsholing wont do. Let me explain - if you are travelling from India by Road - Phuntsholing is a gateway to Bhutan. People use this as a stop over point to reach Paro, Thimpu, Punakha and other places.

If I may suggest - you fly from Delhi or Calcutta (Kolkata) or Bangkok straight to Paro - and spend more time in places like Paro/ Thimpu/ Punakha etc. You can skip Phuntsholing.

I am planning for a short trip for 5 or 6 days during september end to Bhutan. After visiting Darjeeling, planning to get to bhutan by road and then go to Thimpu. How long will it take to reach Thimpu by road from Darjeeling. Which are the places must see in Bhutan.

Thanks

I don%26#39; t think it is Visa free for American. Of course, it is for Indians.

Hi,

Nice to know that you are interested to visit Bhutan. But no place is visa free. Visa clearance in advance is required to enter Bhutan. The travel agencies in Bhutan will help you in obtaining the clearances.

Phuentsholing is a border town of Bhutan. Its is accessible by road from Bagdora.

However, places like Thimphu and Paro are worth visiting if you want to have a feel for the country.

Have a nice trip.
