About Bhutan eSIM
Using eSIM in Bhutan is particularly advantageous in tourist hubs like the capital Thimphu and Paro. The country's main mobile operators, B-Mobile (Enet Bhutan) and TashiCell, offer 4G LTE and limited 5G coverage. B-Mobile provides faster internet connections in cities, while TashiCell offers better coverage in rural areas. Internet speeds in cities typically range from 30-60 Mbps, but can drop to 10-20 Mbps in rural areas. For tourists, eSIM saves time by eliminating the hassle of buying a physical SIM card at the airport and helps save on roaming charges. Additionally, it offers up to 50% cost savings compared to local SIM cards, allowing usage without requiring a passport. We recommend comparing eSIM packages on the Tripuck platform to find the most suitable option.
How to Buy Bhutan eSIM?
Buying an eSIM for Bhutan is quite easy. As a first step, you can select a package specific to Bhutan from the websites of providers like Tripuck, eSIM Fox, or Airalo. After purchase, scan the QR code sent to you to load it onto your phone via Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM. Similar steps are followed on iPhones and Android devices. Activation time usually varies between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. Don't forget to enable data roaming (Settings > Network > Mobile Data > Roaming On). When considering whether to get the eSIM before your trip or upon arrival in Bhutan, consider the urgency of internet access and its suitability to your travel plans.
Bhutan eSIM Pricing
eSIM prices in Bhutan are quite competitive. 1GB packages range from 8-33 USD, 2-3GB packages from 15-62 USD, and 5GB packages from 25-50 USD. For a 10GB package, you may need to pay 40-70 USD. Additionally, packages offering unlimited data at 1-1.25 Mbps speed after 1-2GB of high-speed data per day range from 7-20 USD/day. Short-term packages (1-7 days) typically cost 10-15 USD per day for 2GB of unlimited data, while long-term packages (15-30 days) are 40-60 USD for 10GB. Providers like eSIM Fox and Skyalo offer competitive prices, while Holafly and Yaalo are ideal for unlimited data.
Recommendations
For the best price/performance package, we recommend eSIM Fox 10GB (40-50 USD) or Skyalo's unlimited daily 2GB package. Purchasing the eSIM online before your trip prevents encountering limited options at the airport. Ensure your device is eSIM compatible; check models like iPhone XS+, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+. If you plan to visit mountainous regions, consider having a B-Mobile physical SIM card as a backup for emergencies. For tourists planning to stay in Bhutan for an extended period, we recommend Holafly's 30-day 10GB package, which is renewable and provides unlimited data.
