  • Are there any direct flights from Australia to Bhutan?

    Unfortunately, there are no direct flights from Australia to Bhutan. Travellers usually need to fly to major transit hubs in Asia, such as Bangkok, Delhi, or Kolkata, and then a connecting flight to Bhutan. Additionally, you can also fly from Nepal to Bhutan, as there are direct flights available from Kathmandu throughout the week. Druk Air and Bhutan Airlines operate flights to Bhutan from these connecting cities.
