Samdrup Jongkhar Getting there & around

Getting there & away

The easiest way to get to Guwahati is to arrange an Indian taxi through your hotel. A Bolero jeep costs US$40 for the 100km drive. Buses from the Indian town of Darranga, a 10-minute walk or rickshaw ride over the border, depart for Guwahati (Rs45 to 55) at 6.30am and 2pm.

Due to security concerns, all Bhutanese vehicles have to travel in a convoy as far as Ragiya (convoys do not run on Thursday or Sunday), 49km from the border. Indian vehicles face no such restrictions.
