Dhaka → Paro

Book Flights in Advance**: The most convenient way to travel from Dhaka to Paro is by air. Book your flights early to secure the best fares and ensure availability, especially during peak tourist seasons. Check airlines that operate direct flights or connecting flights, as routes may vary.

Check Visa and Entry Requirements**: If you’re traveling from Bangladesh to Bhutan, be aware that you will need a visa to enter Bhutan. It’s advisable to arrange your visa through a licensed tour operator in Bhutan prior to your trip, as independent travel is generally not permitted.

Timing Matters**: Flights from Dhaka to Paro typically take about 1.5 hours, but allow extra time for airport check-ins and potential delays. Additionally, consider the altitude adjustment when arriving in Paro, which is at 2,200 meters (7,218 feet). Plan for a day or two to acclimatize.

Luggage Restrictions**: Be mindful of luggage limitations when flying to Paro, as domestic flights in Bhutan may have strict weight limits (often 20 kg per person). Pack light and consider using a travel backpack to maximize mobility and ease during your journey.

Prepare for Border Crossings**: If you plan to travel overland from Dhaka to Paro via India, be prepared for border crossing procedures, including necessary documentation. Plan your route ahead, as well as any overnight stays, since bus services may not run frequently, and train connections could add time to your journey.
