Questions

Can you confirm if the Nepal Border is open during Novemeber /December?

Where is Bhutan? What is its population and areas?

Bhutan is a small landlocked Buddhist country in eastern Himalayas. It’s sandwiched between two giants – The Tibetan Autonomous Region of China is in the North and India in west, east and southern border. Total area of Bhutan is 47000 sq. kms and the population as per the recent census is 8, 50, 000.

Does your company help to arrange domestic flight, international flight, hotel reservations and other services?

What kind of transport do you use on the trip?

We wish to visit Bhutan in October. We know we will need an Agency such as yours to arrange for the Druk Air flight to Paro (PBH) from one of the Druk Air gateway airports such as Dhaka (DAC), Kolkata (CCU) or Kathmandu (KTM). We are about to purchase tickets from our home overseas to one of these gateway airports for the connection to Druk Air.

1. The Druk Air schedule for October, 2014, shows two flights #KB401 departing KTM for PBH on Thursdays, one leaving KTM at 8:45am, and another leaving KTM at 1300 hours (1pm); is this correct?

2. If we are scheduled to come from overseas and land at KTM at 6:15am, is there likely to be enough time to take the Druk Air flight scheduled to leave KTM at 8:45am (scheduled to land at PBH at 10:20am)? Will there likely be enough time to retrieve our luggage from the incoming flight, pass through any passport controls, customs, immigration, exit, and othe formalities, check in with our luggage at Druk Air, and pass through any security controls and board the 8:45am flight to PBH?

3. We read that in October, KTM often has delays due to morning fog. What is the probability that the scheduled arrivals and departures on an October morning will be delayed due to fog or other weather concerns, and how should that affect visitor planning?
