Hii Anuradha,
Welcome to the land of dragons and happiness BHUTAN.A small kingdom with more happiness :Land of the Thunder Dragons.Worlds 8th happiest country.Indian stands at 125th!!!Telephone and internet or mobile is still far cry- including education or medicine.But a well disciplined country one must visit.
One dnt need a passport or visa.Only carry Indianness proof voter I card of anything like DL etc with photo.Smoking is prohibited strictly, one is not allowed to carry smoking items.Can carry drinks upto 4 bottles but cant drink on the road.Only one is allowed to have at bars.NO TO DRUGS LIKE GULF COUNTRIES.Remember Prasad gurujee at Dubai!!! Bhutan prisons are of horrible- (one will collapse within 10 minutes!!!).
Food is pure NV.. Chinese type as rice preparations are less.But more of red chilly!!!
To go either use DRAK air from Delhi to Thimphu or from Kolkata to Thimphu.By train get down at New Alipur duwar Jn and go to 40 Km away Hasimara then to border post Phunentsholing( pronounce as Phuntsling).Its 10 km.The border post guards will check ones identity and note down the durations of stay.If hire a taxi from Alipurduwar then the taxi will help.Phunentsholing till Thimphu will take 6-7 hrs.Taxi takes 4-5 hours.Perhead 700 Rs. The currency are same of India.It the only country to come at per with India as per world bank.
wish to tell more if want, PM me.
Thanks.have a nice trip.( Please come back and tell me what you see on the house walls!!!! Only amazing in the world to see that!!)
