Taxi
There are taxis available at Phuentsholing, Paro, Jakar and Thimphu. Taxicabs may have meters, yet drivers seldom use them. For long trips, they work on a level rate that is not open to negotiation. Cab drivers have a propensity for charging foreigners, including Indians.
You ought to hope to pay Nu 70 for a nearby outing inside Thimphu, Nu 1000 to Nu 1500 for an entire day. On the off chance that you are going among Thimphu and Phuentsholing, search for a taxi that is from the spot to which you need to go.
