Bhutan tour packages from Mumbai

No airline flies non-stop from Mumbai to Bhutan: Paro is served only by Drukair and Bhutan Airlines, from Delhi and Kolkata every day, so from Mumbai you connect in Delhi (about 2 hours 20 minutes on to Paro) or Kolkata (about an hour on), 6 to 8 hours in all. The other way in is a non-stop to Bagdogra, about three hours, then four to five hours by road to the border at Phuentsholing (timetables as of September 2026).

Flights from Mumbai leave from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM). They are not part of the package price: the planner quotes them separately on request, so you choose the airline, the timing and the fare, and the trip starts from the airport transfer when you land.

There is no non-stop from Mumbai, so the journey takes most of a day each way. Pick a 6-day plan or longer so the connection does not eat into the trip.

9 plans fit that, from ₹30,499 per person: 6 Days Bhutan Paro Thimphu Escape (6D/5N, from ₹30,499); 6 Days Bhutan Escape from Siliguri (6D/5N, from ₹38,990); 6 Days Bhutan Sightseeing Getaway (6D/5N, from ₹39,290); 6 Days Bhutan Escape from Siliguri Honeymoon (6D/5N, from ₹40,990).

The holidays Mumbai travels on, and what Bhutan is like in those weeks:

• Ganeshotsav (August or September): Bhutan in September is the end of the monsoon, with the best season from late September.
• Diwali holidays (October to November), the longest school break: Bhutan in November is still one of the best months, with clear views.
• Christmas and New Year: Bhutan in December is cold, with nights around freezing, but dry, clear and quiet days.
• Summer holidays (May): Bhutan in May is one of the best months, late spring.

March to May and late September to November are the best months: rhododendrons and the Paro Tshechu in spring, and the clearest Himalayan views from October, which is also the busiest and dearest time. From late June to late September the monsoon hides the peaks in cloud and landslides can slow the road up from Phuentsholing. December to February is cold, with nights around or below freezing in Thimphu and Paro, but the days are mostly dry, clear and quiet.

Bhutan packages from Mumbai start at ₹28,500 per person: ₹28,500 for 5 days, ₹30,499 for 6 days and ₹45,499 for 7 days. That is a land package: the hotels, airport transfers, the sightseeing and activities listed on each trip page, and a planner on WhatsApp through the trip. Flights from Mumbai are not included; they are quoted separately so you pick the airline and dates. Visa and entry fees are paid separately unless the trip page lists them. Our planner handles the entry permit for you.

Bhutan is a foreign trip Indians can take without a visa, even on a Voter ID card: the currency is pegged to the rupee, the nightly SDF for Indians is ₹1,200 (as of September 2026) rather than the US$100 most other nationalities pay, and the monasteries, forests and quiet mountain roads are about an hour's flight from Kolkata or a little over two hours from Delhi. The price moves with the hotel category, the month and the group size, so share those three and you get an exact quote rather than a starting figure.

Visa: Indian citizens do not need a visa for Bhutan: you get a free entry permit, applied for online before travel or issued on arrival at Paro airport or a land border such as Phuentsholing, where the wait can be long. Carry an Indian passport valid for at least six months from the day you leave Bhutan, or your original Voter ID card; children under 18 can use a passport or birth certificate and must travel with a legal guardian. Aadhaar, PAN and driving licences are not accepted as entry documents. As of September 2026 the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) for Indians is ₹1,200 per adult per night, ₹600 for children aged 6 to 11 and nothing under 6, and a guide certified by Bhutan's Department of Tourism must accompany you. The SDF is paid on top of the package price unless the trip page lists it as included, and our planner handles the entry permit for you.

Money: Bhutanese ngultrum (Nu), pegged one to one with the Indian rupee. Rupee cash is widely accepted, so most Indian travellers carry rupees, but the Embassy of India in Thimphu says notes above ₹100 (₹200 and ₹500) may be carried only up to ₹25,000 in total, with anything more in ₹100 notes or smaller. Visa and Mastercard work at ATMs and are widely used in the towns, much less so in the countryside. UPI payments through the BHIM app have been possible in Bhutan since July 2021, but not every shop takes them, so do not rely on UPI alone.
