Phuentsholing is located in the southern part of Bhutan and one of the busiest town in the country. Just opposite to the Phuentsholing gate of Bhutan is the India border town and is not very far from Bagdogra airport and NGP station/ Ali puar station.

Most of the regional tourists make their visit through this entry point and then get their entry permit done at the immigration office in Phuentsholing.

It is recommended to start processing your route permit early as there will be queue and takes some time to get the route permit.
