Ground Transportation

Taxis

Taxis are readily available at the taxi stand located just outside the airport terminal. Fares are generally fixed or negotiated, not metered, so it is advisable to agree on the price with the driver before starting your journey. While taxis are an option, most international tourists will have transportation pre-arranged by their tour operator.

Rental Cars

Self-drive car rentals are not available for tourists in Bhutan. All travel for tourists must be organized through a licensed Bhutanese tour operator. This pre-booked package includes a private vehicle with a dedicated driver and a guide for the entire duration of the trip. These arrangements must be made prior to your arrival.

Public Transportation

There are no public buses or trains that directly serve Paro International Airport. The main public bus station is located in Paro town, which is a 10-15 minute drive from the airport and requires a taxi to reach. Public transport is generally not utilized by tourists as their transportation is included in their mandatory tour package.

when we check the status of departed flights from ktm, how are we supposed to know when it lands at paro? The update you provide is not sufficient

DIFFICULT LANDING Posted by on April 10, 2013

I believe that landing at Paro is one of the most difficult in the world as u have to negotiate the valley and adjacent hills and sometimes turbulent cross winds
