Getting into Bhutan
Only one international Airport situated in Paro connects several countries such as India (Delhi, Kolkotta, Bodh Gaya, Guwahati), Nepal (Kathmandu), Thailand (Bangkok), Bangladesh (Dhaka), and Singapore. Paro is situated at the elevation of 2225m above the sea level and is bordered by mountains as high as 4876m. At present, Druk Air and Tashi Air are operating flight into around the country. There are also regular services to Bumthang (central region) and flights available to Trashigang (eastern region) and Gelephu (Southern Region). A second international is currently under construction in Gelephu along the southern border to India.

Flying to Paro International Airport is typically an exciting and thrilling experience as the descent into Paro valley takes you closer to the mountain peaks than the most other flights in the world. It has also been considered the world’s most thrilling and adventurous airport. The flight between Paro, Kathmandu, Delhi is worthwhile as it offers impressive views of four of the five highest mountains in the world including Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Makalu and Mt. Kanchenjunga.

Food in Bhutan
The most unique feature of Bhutanese cuisine is its sharp taste. Chillis are an important ingredient of nearly every plate and are considered so essential that most Bhutanese people would not enjoy a meal that was not spicy.

Rice forms the main body of most Bhutanese meals. It comes with one or two side dishes consisting of meat or vegetables. Beef, Pork, and Chicken are the meats that are taken most frequently. A wide range of western and Indian cuisine is also accessible in many of the restaurants across the country. Some of the cuisines are very popular in Bhutan including Ema Datshi, MoMos, Phaksha Paa, Jasha Maru, Red Rice, Goep (Tripe).
