Travel to Bhutan
Bhutan is one of the countries in the world where tourists have to pay the highest travel fees. International tourists in Bhutan had to pay 250 per day for various fees. But as a SAARC country, tourists from Bangladesh, India and Maldives were not charged this travel fee. However, a new draft policy will come into effect in a very short time, which will cost regional tourists around Rs 1,400 per head per day. As a result, the cost of traveling to Bhutan will increase several times.
The way to Bhutan by air
If you want to go to Bhutan by plane, you don't need to process visa in advance. Citizens of Bangladesh are issued on arrival visa in Bhutan. Druk Air operates only one airline flight from Bangladesh to Bhutan. Ticket prices vary from time to time. Usually 20,000 - 22,000 rupees per head. The only international airport in Bhutan is Paro.

Way to go to Bhutan by road
If you want to go to Bhutan by road, you will first need a transit visa from India. Because Bhutan has no border with Bangladesh. From Dhaka, one can enter the border through Burimari / Chengrabandha border and from there one can enter Bhutan by bus or taxi through Bhutan border Jaigaon / Funtsholing. In this case it takes about 24 hours. But the advantage is that the cost is less and you can enjoy all the beautiful scenery along the way and if you have time, the Funtsholing area can also be visited from one day.

Appropriate time to travel
The best time to visit Bhutan is September-November. Because it doesn't rain at this time, the sky is clear, the weather is nice and it doesn't get too cold. In winter, Bhutan gets very cold and even the roads are closed. Those who want to enjoy the snow or see the snowfall can also come back in the winter. However, it is better not to go in the rainy season. Because there is a lot of rain in the rainy season. However, September-November is the peak season in Bhutan so everything is more expensive, many tourists from different countries come to visit at this time.

It may take some time to look around
Bhutan has a total of 20 cities covering an area of 36,394 square kilometers. So if you want to visit the whole of Bhutan in a very slow and healthy time, it will take a month. However, a tour of Thimphu, Phuntsholing, Punakha, Paro, Galefu, Samdrup Jhangkar will give you an idea ofthe whole of Bhutan. And you can plan a 10-15 day tour for him.
