Hi Abhiram, We hired a car from Jaigaon for the complete trip. That is a good option for a couple or a family. But for renting bikes, you can certainly check in Jaigaon. I saw lot of bikers coming to Bhutan but on their own bikes. How do you plan to reach Thimphu?

I visited Bhutan last year and me and my friends rented a car outside the Immigration Office in Phuentsholing and we really got a great deal. For a total trip of 5 days we paid him INR 15000 and he dropped us off at the Hasimara Railway Station. Also, there were a lot of bikers from India on their own bikes. Hope this helps.

UpvoteCommentNotice you are going in a group of 6 or 8.It is going to be cold in January.My suggestion is that you hire a car.I can put you in touch with a Bhutanese friend who will be of great help to you.He can pick you up from Phuntsholing.Since you are going a long way,my suggestion is that you visit other places also.For instance,Punakha and Paro.Rest is up to you.
