The Samdrup Jongkhar Immigration Check Post is now open to international tourists, providing a convenient entry point for those traveling from India’s northeastern states. This opening enhances access to Bhutan’s remote and less developed eastern region. Samdrup Jongkhar, located in southeastern Bhutan along the border with Assam, serves as a vital gateway for trade, security, tourism, and cultural exchange between Bhutan and India.
Eastern Bhutan is a hidden gem, known for its untouched beauty and cultural richness. The area features dramatic landscapes of rolling hills, dense forests, and towering cliffs, creating a mystical, timeless ambiance. In villages like Trashigang, Lhuentse, Trashiyangtse, and Mongar, ancient traditions thrive, and life flows at a tranquil, unhurried pace. The region’s charm is further enhanced by the warm hospitality of its locals.
The reopening of the Samdrup Jongkhar gate is expected to boost tourism and economic activities in eastern Bhutan, allowing travelers to experience the area’s rich cultural heritage and stunning natural scenery with fewer crowds. Plan your visit with us and discover the authentic culture, traditions, and serene beauty of Eastern Bhutan.
