Activating an eSIM in Bhutan is simple. Purchase your eSIM online, scan the QR code in your phone’s eSIM settings, and enable mobile data and roaming. For a detailed setup guide, visit our how to install an eSIM article.
Absolutely! Using a travel eSIM is a whole lot better than roaming in Bhutan and here's why:

- Flexibility: Easily switch between different data packages without the need to physically swap SIM cards.

This depends. If you're using a regional eSIM ie. Europe or Asia, then you can use it in the countries specified on our plan page. But, if you have bought an eSIM for a specific country only, then you can only use it in that country.
The good news is, if you need to purchase an eSIM for a different country, you can do that on our website (yep the one you're on right now) in just a minute or two.
Our Bhutan travel eSIMs are data-only meaning you can only use them for internet and not calling or SMS messages, unless you use an internet based messaging service such as WhatsApp.
Connectivity: If you're having connectivity issues with your Bhutan travel eSIM check out our eSIM troubleshooting guide for a troubleshooting process or of course contact us and we will get you sorted ASAP.
Installation: If you need a hand installing the eSIM we have a helpful how to install an eSIM article which should help you, or again contact us directly and we'll do our thing.

Top 3 things to do in Bhutan
Hike to Tiger’s Nest Monastery
Perched dramatically on a cliffside 3,000 meters above sea level, Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang) is Bhutan’s most iconic landmark. The hike up to this sacred Buddhist site is challenging but incredibly rewarding, offering breathtaking views of the Paro Valley along the way. The monastery is believed to be the meditation site of Guru Rinpoche, who brought Buddhism to Bhutan. The final stretch of the trail takes you across a scenic footbridge with fluttering prayer flags, leading to the monastery’s stunning white walls and golden roofs. This spiritual and scenic journey is a must for any visitor to Bhutan.
Explore the Punakha Dzong
Bhutan’s Punakha Dzong, often called the 'Palace of Great Happiness,' is one of the country’s most impressive fortresses. Situated at the confluence of the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers, this grand dzong was once the seat of Bhutan’s government. The architecture, adorned with intricate wood carvings and vibrant murals, reflects the country’s deep Buddhist traditions. Stroll through its majestic courtyards, admire the towering golden statues, and witness the serene beauty of monks in prayer.
