eSIM for Bhutan
From Paro's Tiger's Nest monastery to the dzong of Punakha, stay connected across Bhutan.
Mobile internet in Bhutan
An eSIM for Bhutan lets you sort your mobile internet before you even leave home. You can choose from 3 data bundles from €71.99. Need a lot of data? Unlimited bundles are available too.
In Bhutan your eSIM connects to the local network B-Mobile, with fast 4G where available.
How much data you need depends mostly on what you do while travelling. For navigation, WhatsApp and the occasional scroll through social media, 1 to 3 GB is usually plenty for a short trip. If you stream a lot of video or share photos every day, pick a larger bundle or an unlimited option.
With an eSIM you pay a fixed price up front and avoid nasty surprises on your phone bill. There is no shop to find for a local SIM, and you keep your own number for messaging. The installation QR code lands in your inbox within minutes.

Travel Tips for Bhutan
Getting Around
Use Google Maps or Maps.me and download offline maps before heading into the mountains. Traffic drives on the left. Most visitors travel with a driver and guide.
Public Transport
A licensed guide is mandatory for treks and journeys beyond Thimphu and Paro, so most visitors book a driver through their tour operator. Taxis run in the towns. Buses link the main towns and can be booked ahead with DrukRide.
Payments
BTN (Bhutanese Ngultrum) is the local currency and Indian rupees are also accepted. Cards work at larger hotels and shops. ATMs are found in major towns, but not all accept foreign cards, so carry enough cash.
Essential Apps
DrukRide for taxis and bus tickets. Google Maps or Maps.me for navigation.
Electrical Plug Type

You need a travel adapter for your devices.
