✈️ By Air (Fastest & Most Convenient)

The quickest way to reach Bhutan from Thanjavur is by taking a flight. There are no direct flights from Thanjavur, so you can fly via Tiruchirappalli (TRZ) or Chennai (MAA) to Bagdogra (IXB), and then continue to Paro (PBH) if available.

  • Travel Time: 6–9 hours total depending on connections

Tip: If Bagdogra–Paro flights are unavailable, continue the last leg by road from Bagdogra to Phuentsholing (Bhutan border).

🚆 By Train (Budget-Friendly & Scenic)
