Thimphu serves as the primary hub for nightlife in Bhutan, although it's not as bustling as Delhi. However, there are clubs and discos that remain open until late at night. It's worth noting that most city shops, including restaurants, tend to close down after 9 PM.
Yes, alcohol is relatively inexpensive in Bhutan, and the locally made varieties are known for their quality and taste. For enthusiasts, Bhutanese alcohol like Ara, a traditional hot beverage made from rice, barley, wheat, or millet, is a must-try. Ara is often infused with herbs and can be either fermented or diluted, offering a unique drinking experience.
Dzongkha is the national language of Bhutan, primarily spoken in the western region. However, there are 25 dialects spoken across the country. English is widely spoken, especially in urban areas, as it serves as the medium of instruction in schools. Tourists will find it easy to communicate with Bhutanese people if they are fluent in English. Official documents, road signs, and major national newspapers are often published in English, facilitating understanding for visitors.
However, in remote villages, English proficiency may be limited. In the eastern region, Tshangla is commonly spoken, while Lotsham is prevalent in the southern part. In such areas, guides can assist with communication. Additionally, some Bhutanese locals may also be fluent in languages like Hindi and Nepali due to their proximity to neighbouring countries.
Traveling independently in Bhutan is not permitted. To explore the country, travelers must hire a tour operator who provides an experienced guide for the duration of the trip. Having a guide enhances the experience by providing insights into folklore, history, and hidden secrets of Bhutan's landscapes, including valleys, hills, caves, monasteries, and mountains. Despite the requirement for a guide, solo travel in Bhutan offers a sense of solitude, particularly amidst the serene hills and peaceful stupas. Solo travel, including for women, is increasingly popular and considered safe.
Bhutan's currency is called the ngultrum, which is pegged 1:1 with the Indian rupee.
Three types of electrical plugs are commonly used in Bhutan: the British plug (compatible with type G sockets), the European plug (compatible with type C sockets), and the Indian plug (compatible with type D sockets). Travellers are advised to bring adaptors for all three types to ensure compatibility with Bhutanese outlets.
Bhutan's country code for telephone calls is +975. Travelers calling Bhutan from abroad should prefix the number with this code.
Yes, Bhutan's Department of Tourism operates a dedicated visitor center at Paro International Airport. Additional information centers may be found at the country's four border entry points, providing travelers with assistance and resources during their visit.
Upon arrival at Paro International Airport or in Thimphu, you can exchange your local currency for Bhutanese ngultrum at banks, larger hotels, and authorized currency exchange businesses.
Visa and Mastercard are accepted at ATMs and banks in urban areas of Bhutan. International credit cards are widely used, though availability may vary in rural areas. Travelers can also use digital wallet apps such as goBoB by the Bank of Bhutan and MyPay by Bhutan National Bank, both of which can be linked to international credit cards and are widely accepted. Cash in US dollars, Indian rupees, and Bhutanese ngultrum is also widely accepted and recommended to carry.
Most hotels offer Wi-Fi, but for more reliable internet access, consider obtaining a guest SIM card. B Mobile SIM cards are available in larger cities and can be easily topped up using the goBoB app, which also facilitates other payments within the country. However, mobile data in Bhutan can be expensive.
Bhutan offers various shopping destinations for unique handicrafts and gifts. The Cottage and Small Industries (CSI) Market and the Centenary Farmers' Market are popular among visitors. Additionally, the Textile Museum shop, Tarayana, and Craft galleries offer artisan-made textiles and homewares. OGOP shops are also recommended for food, drinks, and handcrafted products directly sourced from local artisans and farmers.
For tourism-related emergencies, contact the Department of Tourism at +975 1712 2257 (or 2300 within Bhutan). For emergency services, dial 110 for fire, 112 for an ambulance, or 113 for police assistance.
