Is eSIM available in Bhutan for tourists?

Yes. With an eSIM-compatible, unlocked phone you can buy a Bhutan data plan from Ahlano before you fly and install it in a few minutes. There is no plastic card to collect and no shop to find after a long journey. Your own SIM can stay in the phone for calls and messages from home, while the eSIM handles your data.

Not sure your phone qualifies? Check the list of phones that support eSIM before you buy. Most recent iPhone and Android models do.

Which Bhutan eSIM plan fits your trip?

There are 13 plans for Bhutan, from USD 4.98. Start with two questions: how long you will stay, and how much you use your phone.

  • Short visit, light use: a small plan covers maps, messages and a few photos. The smallest one-week plan is a calm choice for a short stay.
  • Longer trip: plans run up to 30 days, so a slow journey through the valleys does not need a second purchase.
  • Heavy use: if you share videos or work on the road, pick a larger plan with up to 20 GB.

An unlimited plan is also on sale for Bhutan, if you would rather not count your data at all.

eSIM or a local SIM card in Bhutan?

A local SIM card means finding a seller, sharing documents and swapping cards in your phone. An Ahlano eSIM is bought online in a few minutes, in Arabic or English, and you can see your price before you pay. You can also check the data left and top up if your plans change mid-trip.
