The journey
Flying to Bhutan from Singapore
Drukair flies Singapore to Paro on selected days, usually with a short technical stop. It is one of the most comfortable ways into Bhutan from Southeast Asia.
Singapore-based guests often travel over long weekends. A five-day trip is possible, but seven days lets you add Punakha properly.
