Workation in Phuntsholing: the essentials
Walk through the gate on the main road and you pass from the Indian town of Jaigaon into Bhutan, which is what sets Phuntsholing apart from the rest of the kingdom. It is a low-lying trading town of about 27,700 people (2017) at the foot of the Himalaya and the seat of Chukha District, and cross-border commerce drives its economy. The streets feel more commercial than in the mountain towns, and the road north to Thimphu starts climbing almost at once. Paro International Airport is about 170 km away, so most arrivals come overland. The monsoon is long and heavy at this edge of the mountains.
