Paro Airport (PBH)
Paro Airport is Bhutan's only international airport, set deep in the Paro Valley among the Himalayan foothills. Compare airlines flying in and out of Paro (PBH) and set a Price Alert on Traveloka to track fares before you book.
Overview of Paro Airport
Paro Airport sits in a narrow mountain valley around 6 km from Paro town and roughly an hour's drive from the capital, Thimphu. It is one of the world's most technically demanding airports to fly into: with no radar coverage and mountains rising on both sides of the runway, only around 24 pilots worldwide are certified to land here, using a manual, visual approach rather than instrument guidance.
Where You Can Fly From Paro
Paro's schedule is small and almost entirely regional, reflecting Bhutan's tightly controlled, guided-tourism model.
- International: Kathmandu, Bangkok, Delhi, Kolkata, Singapore and Dhaka are among the destinations served, depending on season.
- Domestic: a handful of routes connect Paro to other small Bhutanese airports.
Schedules are limited and change by season, so compare carriers and verify details at the time of travel.
Airlines and Hubs
Drukair (Royal Bhutan Airlines) is the hub carrier at Paro, serving around 19 destinations, and Bhutan Airlines is the country's other, smaller carrier. Between them, these two national airlines operate almost the entire schedule — no major international carrier flies into Paro directly.
Terminal at Paro Airport
Paro has a single runway and a small terminal built in traditional Bhutanese architectural style, reflecting the country's aesthetic requirements for buildings nationwide.
Getting To and From Paro and Thimphu
There is no formal public bus service at Paro Airport. Most visitors are met by a pre-arranged driver from their tour operator or hotel, since independent tourism in Bhutan is limited and most visitors travel on guided itineraries. Taxis are available outside the terminal for onward travel to Paro town or Thimphu, and a private shuttle service also runs between the two.
Facilities at Paro Airport
As Bhutan's only gateway airport, Paro keeps its facilities modest and functional.
- A small number of shops selling local handicrafts and souvenirs, plus a café.
- Free Wi-Fi and clean waiting areas.
- No large retail or dining precinct — most visitors continue straight on to their accommodation.
