What is the Bhutan currency to INR rate?

Bhutan uses the Bhutanese Ngultrum (BTN). As an approximate reference, 1 BTN ≈ ₹1. Exchange rates fluctuate daily, so check a live rate before you convert money.

Are Indian Rupees accepted in Bhutan?

The Ngultrum is pegged 1:1 to the Indian Rupee, and INR is widely accepted. Carry ₹100 and ₹200 notes — ₹500 notes are accepted unofficially and ₹2,000 notes can be hard to use.

Where should I exchange currency for Bhutan?

You rarely need to exchange anything — just carry Indian Rupees in small denominations. Banks in Thimphu and Paro can convert if needed.

Should I use cash or card in Bhutan?

Cards work in Thimphu and Paro hotels and bigger shops, but rural Bhutan is cash-only. Carry enough INR/Ngultrum cash for the interior.
