Main central and eastern valleys (Trongsa, Bumthang, Trashigang) covered. Classic treks (Druk Path 5-6 days, Snowman Trek 25 days — one of the world's toughest) have intermittent coverage — high camps and passes above 4,500m offline. Tigers Nest (Paro Taktsang, 3,120m) has basic coverage on trail and at the monastery. No commercial 5G. Mixed Type C/D/G/M plugs, 230V/50Hz.

Frequently asked questions about Bhutan eSIM

Is there coverage climbing to Tigers Nest (Paro Taktsang)?
Yes for most of it. The trail from the parking lot to the cafeteria (halfway) has steady TashiCell 4G. The second half and monastery have intermittent coverage — the monastery itself has weak but usable signal. Useful for iconic photos of the monastery clinging to the cliff at 3,120m. TashiCell typically has better mountain coverage.
Does the eSIM work on classic treks (Druk Path, Snowman)?
Limited. Druk Path (5-6 days Paro-Thimphu, max 4,235m) has intermittent coverage — high camps and passes offline. Snowman Trek (25 days, max 5,320m) is mostly offline — one of the world's most remote treks. Bring satellite GPS and stay coordinated with guide/agency. Trek communication is via guide radios.
Is an international eSIM worth it in Bhutan?
Yes — physical TashiCell SIMs require complicated tourist registration (access via mandatory agency). An international eSIM is much more practical for typical organized tourism (visa entry + agency includes hotel/meals/guide/transport). Your Bhutan package includes hotel Wi-Fi, but the eSIM covers off-hours (Tigers Nest hike, Thimphu markets, etc.).
