There is no non-stop, and crucially only two airlines fly into Paro at all — Drukair (Royal Bhutan Airlines) and the privately-owned Bhutan Airlines. Neither serves Bengaluru directly, so the route is built as a connection. The most common pattern is to fly an Indian carrier (IndiGo, Air India or Akasa) from Bengaluru to Kolkata (CCU) — the closest big hub to Bhutan — then take Drukair or Bhutan Airlines on the short hop to Paro. Delhi (DEL) is the other gateway, with Drukair flying Paro daily. Tour operators usually package the Paro leg, since Bhutan trips are permit-based.
Bhutan's peak seasons are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) — clear skies, festivals (tsechus) and the best Himalayan views, but also the dearest flights and busiest permits. The quieter, cheaper windows are winter (December–February) and the monsoon (June–August). As of May 2026, the Paro legs are not cheap for their length: the CCU–PBH or DEL–PBH sector alone often runs ₹14,000–22,000 one way, so an end-to-end Bengaluru–Paro round trip frequently lands around ₹40,000–65,000 depending on season and the Indian-leg fare. Book the Drukair/Bhutan Airlines segment well ahead — seats are limited. Indicative only — live fares in the FlightGPT chat.
End to end, expect roughly 7–9 hours via Kolkata once the layover is counted: about 2h 30m Bengaluru–Kolkata, a connection, then a short ~1h hop CCU–PBH. Routing via Delhi is longer because Delhi is farther north-west. Drukair often operates the Paro leg with a brief technical touchdown at another point (such as Bagdogra or Guwahati) depending on the day, so check the exact stops on your ticket. The descent into Paro is famous — the aircraft threads between Himalayan ridgelines and only a few dozen specially-certified pilots are cleared to land there, and only in daylight.
On the Indian leg, IndiGo, Air India and Akasa include 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin in standard domestic economy. The Bhutanese carriers are more restrictive: Drukair and Bhutan Airlines economy typically allow about 20–30 kg checked, but confirm on your fare, as the small Airbus narrowbodies into Paro have tight holds. If you book the Bengaluru and Paro legs on separate tickets, your bags will not transfer automatically — you must collect and re-check at Kolkata or Delhi, so allow a comfortable connection. Booking the whole journey through one agent or as a Bhutan tour package avoids this hassle.
Bengaluru (BLR) — Kempegowda International is ~35 km north of the city; your domestic leg departs Terminal 1 or the newer Terminal 2, so check the boarding pass. Paro (PBH) — Bhutan's sole international airport sits in a deep valley at about 2,235 m, ringed by 5,000 m peaks. It has a single compact terminal in striking traditional Bhutanese architecture, about 6 km from Paro town and ~1.5 hours' drive from the capital, Thimphu. Operations are daylight and visual only because of the terrain, so flights cluster in the morning and afternoon and are weather-sensitive — build buffer days around your Paro flights.
Indian passport holders do not need a visa for Bhutan. You enter on a permit using a valid passport (6+ months) or a Voter ID card, and you must pay the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF), set for Indian nationals at ₹1,200 per person, per night (children get concessions; under-5s are exempt). This reduced Indian SDF rate is confirmed to run through 2027. The permit is arranged online via Bhutan's Department of Immigration or through a registered tour operator, and you must also book confirmed accommodation in a government-approved hotel. There is no "visa-on-arrival fee" as such — just the permit and SDF. Full guidance is in the Visas guide.
Spring (March–May) brings rhododendron blooms, mild days and the Paro Tshechu festival; autumn (late September–November) offers the clearest Himalayan views and the Thimphu Tshechu — both are the prime seasons for the Tiger's Nest (Paro Taktsang) hike. Winter is cold but crisp and quiet, with the lowest crowds; the monsoon (June–August) is green but cloudy, and Paro's visual-only flights are more prone to weather delays. Whenever you go, pad your itinerary with a spare day either side of the Paro flight. For ideas on the country, see the Paro destination guide.

Winter (December-February) and the monsoon (June-August) are cheapest and least crowded. Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) are the prime seasons for views and festivals, but flights, permits and hotels are dearest then.
