Bhutan travel data eSIM
What is a Bhutan eSIM?
Enhance your journey to the Kingdom of Bhutan with a data-only eSIM. Before you depart, install the eSIM on your compatible device. It activates upon your first connection in Bhutan, allowing you to navigate, communicate, and access information throughout your stay in this Himalayan nation. Stay connected from the moment you arrive, whether exploring Thimphu or the valleys of Paro.
Our Bhutan eSIM plans connect you to TashiCell 4G networks. Data allowance options range from 1GB for 7 days to 20GB for 30 days. The validity period begins when you first use data in Bhutan. Your home SIM remains active, preserving your local number and plan.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator(s) does the Bhutan eSIM use, and what does this mean for my travel?
The Bhutan eSIM connects to TashiCell 4G networks. This means your connectivity depends on TashiCell's network presence in the locations you visit within Bhutan.
Does the Bhutan eSIM work in India?
This is a single-country plan, valid only in Bhutan. For travel to multiple countries, please explore our range of regional or international eSIM plans.
What data plan size is recommended for visiting Thimphu and Paro?
As a rough guide, for shorter trips focused on these two cities, a 1GB or 3GB plan might suffice. For extended stays or heavier data use, consider 5GB or more.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
