CHUKHA

Chukha is one of the most important districts of Bhutan, with the busy border town of Phuentsholing often referred to as the ‘Gateway to the South’.

The most distinctive feature of Chhukha is the Chhukha and Tala Hydropower projects. The two projects tap the fast-running waters of the Wangchhu and Paachhu Rivers to produce more than 1,500 Megawatts of power. These two dams are absolutely crucial to the country as they are still the largest providers of revenue for the Kingdom of Bhutan.

Also located in Chhukha district are some of the country's oldest industrial companies like the Bhutan Carbide Chemical Limited (BCCL) and the Bhutan Boards Products Limited (BBPL). All the 11 geowgs of Chhukha Dzongkhag is now connected with Farm Roads.

It takes 18 hours to reach Phuentsholing from Kolkata. You can also opt for the bus, private taxi or any other local transportation in order to reach Bhutan.

Paro International airport is the only airport of Bhutan. Druk Air is the only airline which operates regular flights to and from Paro to Gaya, Bangkok, Kathmandu, Dhaka, Kolkata and Delhi. Unfortunately there are no direct flights from Chennai to Bhutan and hence first you can travel to Kolkata or Delhi and then fly to Bhutan.
