DRUK AIR [Royal Bhutan Airlines] is the national carrier of the Royal Government of Bhutan, operating to seven cities in six countries. The airline operates two BAe146-100 series and two A319. Druk Air is also the General Sales Agent for Thai International in Bhutan. Druk Air’s mountain flight offers an opportunity to experience a bird’s eye view of many of the mountains in the Bhutan Himalayas and also see some of the more remote and beautiful parts of the Kingdom. Taking off from the airport situated in the valley of Paro at 7,333 ft., the flight makes a rough figure eight route across the length of the country.
The hour long flight offers a myriad scenery from the towering heights of the Eastern Himalayas to the subtropical forests of the foothills. The Tshendeygang Group (22,947 ft), Tari Gang (23,275 ft), Masang Gang (23,603 ft), are among a few of the majestic sights that you will encounter on this flight. Beyond the mighty summits, you can also catch a glimpse of the great Tibetan Plateau in all its grandeur stretching in the distance.
In the comfort of Druk Air’s BAe-146 jets it is another opportunity to relax and focus your camera lens on modern highways linking ancient fortresses; on the numerous lakes and waterfalls and remote villages far below you.
Visitors to Bhutan are overwhelmed with our natural beauty and the great variety of flora and fauna that the country so proudly protects. With our unique tradition and culture, every visit to Bhutan is filled with mesmerising memories. We in Druk Air have devised this Kingdom from the Sky flight to create for you in one hour the otherwise inaccessible wonders of Bhutan. And our hope is that this flight proves to be a highlight of your time in Bhutan.
If your are planning to visit Bhutan from this October 1998 it is suggested that you advise your agent now to include yourself in our Kingdom from the Sky flight.
