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.com/s/32_8/e9f2a7ab
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.

So it means if I want to go as a solo traveller in Bhutan so I can good to go right?
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.

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!

Hey Google, play some amazing Indian travel KZread 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..... Waiting for some more stunning videos from Bhutan..
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.
seriously the best possible content and it's presentation, so much info for the people who travels, kudos tanya.. way to go👍🏻😊
This is was so needed.. thank u so so so much ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great feed...I along with my two buddies from Gujarat and Punjab will be starting our Nepal, Bhutan and northeast bike trip on 2nd June 2019....your vlogs help me alot in understanding and learning new things while on trips... thank you.. keep growing..

Good wishes from ladakh Tanya, have a nice time in the Bhutan....... Always love to see you and your videos......
Very nice. Appreciate the efforts you put in to help people take solo travelling so lightly.
Yayyy.... Great info... Waiting for the rest of the videos from this trip

Great tips. Especially when I'm vising Bhutan next week. 👍
You are such a pretty face to watch along with a travel vlog. Also, you inspire all your subscribers a lot 👌🏻
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.
U r just awesome 😎 👌 fantastic. Much love Carry on..... God bless you 🙏
Homestly, I have never been to these places but watching the World through your eyes is mesmerising experience. Thanks for taking us with you . :)
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 !
Great job, Tanya. I enjoyed your Bhutan trip.
Wow it's amazing you travelled all the way to Bhutan by yourself. You got a subscriber. Nice and I liked it.
I always have this thought of why you haven't visited Bhutan yet, and here it is :-) your cinematography is excellent
I visited Bhutan in 2006.. Such a beautiful and peaceful country.. Great video 👌
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.
You are such a great solo travel motivation for us..Keep us motivating ❤

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.👍

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.
