Cheap Flights to Bhutan

Useful advice for travelling to Bhutan (BT)

Flights to Bhutan are an easily reachable dream-come-true. As collectively happy as probably no other Europeans, Bhutanese people live in a Himalayan land of Buddhist philosophies, high regard towards ecology, and monarchy values. It is easy to feel happiness on your trip to Bhutan; all you need is some preparation and taking care of several formalities before you head out.

Preparing for the trip

Lithuanian tourists require a visa to enter Bhutan. This moderately closed-off country is easier reached after you acquire a permit to enter the territory (issued at the airport) yourself or leave these formalities for your travel agency. Either way, you will need to provide a passport or ID that is valid for another six months.

All tourists arriving through territories infected with yellow fever are required to provide a corresponding vaccination certificate to Bhutanese government. Depending on the part of Bhutan you’re planning to explore, you might need to acquire some anti-malaria medicine. You should also get vaccinated against hepatitis A and B, typhoid fever, and meningitis as a precaution, as well as renew your vaccination against tetanus and diphtheria.

Transportation and travel charges

Just a few decades ago, most Bhutanese people used to travel on foot or on horseback. Nowadays, the country has many paved roads, and because of mountainous landscape of Bhutan, most of them go parallel to larger rivers. Easiest and most comfortable ways of inner travel are bus and taxi rides.

Official local currency is the Bhutanese ngultrum (BTN). Indian rupees are also used in the country. One ngultrum is equal approximately 0.017 euro. Living costs in Bhutan are lower than in Lithuania. For example, you can buy a cappuccino for 108 ngultrums and have lunch in a cheap restaurant for 275. In local shops, a 1.5 litre water bottle will cost you 25 ngultrums; you can buy one kilogram of rice for about 40, and one kilogram of cheese for roughly 350 ngultrums. Public transport tickets cost about 20 ngultrums, and a one kilometre long taxi ride will cost you about 45.
