Solo Trip to Bhutan by Road | Phuntsholing | How to get a permit for Indians? | Bhutan Series Intro

- HELLO MY PEOPLE. I'm visiting Bhutan solo by road, and this is the first video in the series. The nearest airport is Bagdogra airport although you can also fly Druk Airways and land directly at Paro (expensive option). From Bagdogra it takes about 5 hours to reach Phuntsholing by road and you can get a taxi from right outside the airport. At Phuntsholing border you will require a permit to visit beyond the 5 km border radius. The visa entry is otherwise free, but the permit is issued for 7 days based on some background checks and upon submission of the following documents -
1) Photocopy of your identity card - Passport/Voter's ID card
2) An immigration form that is provided at any shop near Immigration office
3) Proof of stay of onward journey (You will need confirmed proof of booking for atleast first night in Thimphu/Paro)
4) One passport size photograph
5) For all solo female travellers - Please write a hand written undertaking stating that you are responsible for your own safety and address it to The Immigration Officer, Immigration office, Phuntsholing Bhutan,
For getting a permit at the earliest, please reach the office at 8:30 am with all your documents and stand in a queue. The office opens at 9:00 am. In my case I got the permit within half hour because I arrived early.
For booking the same hotel that I stayed in, you can use the following link - www.booking.co...
You'll earn INR 700 on your booking once you book and stay at the hotel.

Even male solo travellers get their permit. One of my friend got his from the same very permit office of Bhutan. :) FYI.
Thanks for sharing the experience. Pinning your comment for further discussion. If anyone has more experiences. Or can share about the documents required, do share! 😊
They too have to write an undertaking for themselves, and they're all good to go. Applies for all solo travellers.
Without passport can I get permit by voter id or extra government id
@@pd497 No. A passport is a must in Bhutan to get a permit for Paro, Thimphu and Punakha.
So it means if I want to go as a solo traveller in Bhutan so I can good to go right?
I stay in Phunentsholing, and this video made me go like OMG! Never have I seen such beautiful video made.
This is the place where your journey starts to rest of the country. In a nutshell:
1.People are kind, ask them any thing they won't scam you of anything.
2. All forms of tobacco is band, so never smoke openly, get to the corner if you have to 😊
3.Cabs are available 24 hrs. I recommend an apps for local tour ( Oie app and druk ride app)
4. Cabs for tourist may go up to 1K for single as per season (pling to Thimphu)
5. find any Bhutanese ( from a travel agent would be great) as ask them for help, like in Immigrantion and finding a cab(tell them to negotiate the rate) can come down to 750/- and that's the rate for local Bhutanese.
6. Most importantly, never litter! The CCTVs are installed in ever streets. So you would be fined a huge sum. 😇
7. And the list goes on! I hope this info. Will help you and get around our country. Have a safe stay in Bhutan.
Oh yeah! The crime rates is very very low. Don't worry about it, just dial 113 that's for police, in case sth happens! And the weather is great here in Thimphu!
Underrared comment 😢
Finally...one of my favorite blogger ❤️❤️❤️lots of love from Manipur woman's empowerement ✌️

Welcome to my beautiful country, please enjoy the concept of Gross national happiness(GNH) which is more important than Gross domestic product(GDP)in Bhutan. In Bhutan GNH is govt's development policy not GDP.
Please share some info about the daily tax imposed on indians started since july 2020. I am not aware about the policy
Hope you have a great time here in Bhutan 💙🌈 Loved your video 🤗 A Bhutanese here
EVERY TRAVELLER SHOULD WATCH THIS VIDEO SPECIALLY GIRLS.
Hi ! Some addition! I travelled to bhutan for 10 days.. so not necesarily you get a permit for 7 days. You do get for more!
Also just make sure, you get your exit stamp as well, or else in future you may not be allowed to get a visa and permit to travel.
Going to pin this comment for future travellers. Thank you for the additional info. 😊
Prajakta Surve Thank you so much for adding valuable info.
@@TanyaKhanijow Hi , and you can extend the 7-day permit at Immigration Office, Thimphu before the permit expires. :)
Can you provide immigration permit and process as I am from South India
Try to travel to London
I love the freedom one has with solo traveling. Bhutan seems like an underrated nation to visit.
Ur story telling and coherence on each video is so amazing. Loved this simple video and all the tips and tricks for solo travel, or rather travel in general. Never knew being a woman could actually get you an edge over men in getting permits! 😊
Thanks for always supporting! ❤️ Haha. I know right. I felt so privileged for the first time. :)
Trust me, you're my 'favourite' Indian blogger. No overacting, like most Indian bloggers do, totally natural, fluent with attractive content, sweet and sooo prettyyy!! ❤️😊 Also I wish I could have such an amazing job...😢
I was deployed near phointsholling for five years.....explored this beautiful country many times. It was mine weekend destination. Have a good time there.
Is it true that a solo male rider is not permitted...?
@@solomonraju6725
Yes, it's true.
Hey Google, play some amazing Indian travel CZcams vlogs... starts playing Tanya Khanijow's videos..ha ha ..😊 (I strongly believe it's not too far away, currently have to provide some more hints to Google 🙂)..
Your editing speed has improved a lot... Video posted just after a day of travel..wow .👏...🙂
I totally agree, solo trip is like meditation and to spend quality time with yourself.
All the borders should be like this only.....

Hey Tanya I came to Bhutan in last December. And yes you are are right traveling male solo is very difficult in Bhutan because I am aslo solo traveller. I am giving you some tip from my experience.
1. In Bhutan You have to travel some unknown rural areas, It's the real beauty of bhutan. Like laya, Bumthang.. etc.
2. They have also public transport and which you have to book previously and it's very cheap.
3. The king of bhutan is very cool if you want to meet them fix the meeting show them your work they will definitely meet you.
That's it.
You are doing great work... I love it. Keep going.
Thank you for the tips! :)
Are solo males allowed??
@@AnkitRaj94 Yes solo male traveller is allowed but they do not anchorage you... But you can talk to immigration officer and write down the letter of undertaken the allowed you. And they give 7 day permission you can extend the visa permite in Thimpu immigration offices...
And one more thing.. In Bhutan there are restricted places that you have to take permission before going.
jay shah what’s the reason for not allowing solo male travelers to Bhutan ?
You are the most humble travel blogger ever ..we live in Indo Bhutan area near Jaigaon.So cool to see you in Bhutan.Our frequent and easiest getaway olwas.
Wow u r really a brave lady to travel all alone around the world. But no worries Bhutan is a safe for every tourist. We welcome you to our little country Bhutan.
Tanya.. maja aagaya yeh channel dekh ker. . 👍🏼👍
This is the reason i love bhutan...
I am also doing vlog in bhutan...
Best wishes to you.
Lots of supports.
Have almost watched all your videos Tanya, but had never left my comments till date. But today, even before finishing this video, I was compelled to do so. You are fab!! Every single detailing that you do on your videos and with the kind of honesty you present it, is something that gives your videos an edge. Keep doing the honest work, that's what we lack now.👍
Thank you so so much for leaving this comment. 😊
Dear Tanya Khanijow
Amazing Video Once Again, Bhutan is Really Cool n Worth to Visit, You n Your Work Really Making a Difference, This Helped Me in Getting New Prospective & Lift Up from Situations, Keep Continue Your Valuable n Mesmerising Work,
Take care
Thank You
Tanya, I've just recently started watching your videos, have seen a couple of them, they are so absolutely lively. Watching them makes you feel that you're actually 'there' at the location you present in the videos. There are plenty of travel vlogs on You Tube, however not all of them are as interesting as the ones that you post. In this video you've hit the nail in the head 'learning how to enjoy your own company'. You're reminded of an old Hindi song 'Chal akela, chal akela, chal akela, tere mela pechee choota rahi chal akela, with a line in the song 'tera koi saath na de to kudh se preet jodhlee..........'' , keep posting your travel vlogs Tanya, wish you good luck and a pleasant journey of life, take care.
Tanya the best thing about u your vlogs is that u are growing girl.... Ive seen u growing... Im proud of u... Im happy for u... Much love from arunachal
Thank you bub! means a lot that you have experienced it along with me. :)
@@TanyaKhanijow i enjoy ur vlogs a lot keep it coming girl ... I never missed ur vlogs till date and i never will.... What kills me inside is how come i missed u in the zfm 2018...shouldve known u were there...bohoooooo......
Wow..you visited pling and kizom cafe,asian kitchen..n done awesome documentary of our country..Love n wishes from Bhutan
From Bagdogra airport you could have gone to Siliguri Bus terminus. 40 minutes and 10 is the bus fare. Station is near the terminus. From there a train to near Phuntsholing in binnnaguri station. Train fare is 80-90. Then from the station drive to Phuntsholing, only may be 30 minutes. So total fare now stands at 100 instead of your 800. Its the best option for people of middle class. You have made your travel tooooooooooooooooooooooo expensive. But your videos are beautiful because you also enjoy the process.
Did anybody else also noticed *Tanya Khanijow* in *Flying Beast* creators camp vlog?!!
congratulations ❤️❤️ Tanya!! Huge fan of yours.
Haha, Yes, just attended the event yesterday as a panelist. Great meeting all the creators. And thank you :)
Wow it's amazing you travelled all the way to Bhutan by yourself. You got a subscriber. Nice and I liked it.
Good wishes from ladakh Tanya, have a nice time in the Bhutan....... Always love to see you and your videos......
One of the best place on earth... I have been there for 5 days, and people are really good... Go to taktsang monastery in paro, the view is one of the best view.
Tanya, it’s always a treat to watch your videos. Happy Vacay. Travel safe. ♥️
Feeling of joy, independence, pride - solo travelling💛🚶🎑
Loved it! Amazing. Your narration is just on point. I think with every video that you post, I'am falling for your skills. Lots of love!
Watching bhutan vlog is going to be very awesome and refreshing...i m gonna enjoy this vlog of yours alot.... Bonn voyage👍
And yes, you have gone by road then you must have been across a
bridge that has two roads on both sides on both ends ,
At one end a road to left side takes us to 'PARO' where the airport is situated and the right side takes us to 'HAA'
AND
At the other end one road takes to the capital THIMPHU and the other road takes us to JAIGAON( our side) from where you have entered Bhutan.
Yes I crossed that bridge. Even posted about it on Instagram today. :)
Yes I am from Bhutan
Your smile can make anyone's day..... keep smiling 🙂

Hey Tanya.................You know what, i really like your travelling across India videos, but iska matlab ye nai hai k i don't like your international trips and tours....................just a thought... Keep doing what you do..... We love it ^_^
Thank you for supporting! :)
Thankyou dear Tanya for such a helpful video full of small tips and tricks. I have never travelled Line, just findnit too hard to do things alone , even like going out for a meal by myself. Not that I can’t, just that I’ve always been with someone to go with and like it that way.
But I’m realizing how important it is to be independent and do small things by yourself.
For a person like me, who will probably take the first step, your positive presence, simplicity, and confidence has given me much needed inspiration ❤️ Thankyou so much !
I love the way you have shared your opinions.. Thoughts.. and experiences ❤have a safe trip😊👍🏽
As usual... u r one of the best solo traveller. And your videos show us the reality of places. Thank u Tanya.. Go for growing. We are all with ur channel.
I visited Phontsoling, Nov 2015. It has got a beautiful Buddhist Monestary. The view of Torsha river is also good. On the Indian side near Hasimara, there are forests, which are must visit.
Great job, Tanya. I enjoyed your Bhutan trip.
As of an prologue to Bhutan series, the vlog is super informative...also, minute enhancements like the 'time stamp' and 'sub-titles' adds the the brand value of your's video. And, the start of the show is as brilliant and scintillating as usual.
Tanya mam I like your Videos very much and showing Bhutan is very appealing.Nice place and Bhutan is such a beautiful place for the persons who want to run away from Hustle Bustle of town.
Tbh I'm learning English From you Ma'am 😁💕😘
Great Tanya hi, Really ur Videos are very helpful for Those who poor and who's unable to Go trip.

Hi, em a solo traveller too and following tips and hacks from ur updates, which helps and guide me to plan a good trip. I just wanted to know from where can I book my cab from Phuentsholing to Paro? Most probably will travel soon in month of December 2023 and welcome 2024 🎉
