Read Before your book 4 nights 5 days Bhutan Tour

At Magical Nepal, we believe travel should be more than just movement—it should be meaningful, memorable, and magical.

Our 4 Nights 5 Days Bhutan Tour offers a beautifully curated glimpse into Bhutan’s timeless charm—perfect for those short on time but big on discovery.

If you’re dreaming of peaceful monasteries, dramatic valleys, and warm cultural encounters, this journey might be just what your soul needs.

Before you book, here are a few important details to help you decide if it’s the right fit.

Visa & Travel Documents – What You Need to Know

At Magical Nepal, we take the stress out of paperwork—so you can focus on the excitement of your Bhutan adventure.

All international travelers (except for Indian, Bangladeshi, and Maldivian citizens) need a visa to enter Bhutan. But don’t worry—we’ll take care of the entire process for you!

Here’s what we need from you:

• A scanned copy of your passport (valid for at least 6 months from your travel date).
• A passport-size photo (digital copy is fine).

Once we have these, we’ll apply for your visa and send you the e-visa clearance letter before your departure. This letter must be shown at the check-in counter before boarding your flight to Bhutan.

Flight to Paro Bhutan

Bhutan’s only international airport is located in Paro, nestled beautifully in a valley surrounded by mountains. You can fly into Paro from several regional hubs:

• Kathmandu (Nepal)
• Delhi or Kolkata (India)
• Bangkok (Thailand)
• Singapore (select seasonal routes)

Good to Know: Your round-trip flight from Kathmandu to Paro is included in the tour package price.

If you prefer to fly from Delhi, Bangkok, or Singapore, just let us know. We’ll be happy to arrange the flights separately and adjust the package accordingly to match your travel plans.

Since flight seats to Bhutan are limited and tend to book out quickly—especially during peak seasons, we highly recommend securing your spot early. And don’t worry, we’re here to help with every step of the booking process.
