Bhutan Travel Carbon Footprint Calculator

Estimate the carbon footprint of your journey to and within Bhutan. Understand where your emissions come from and explore opportunities to travel more responsibly.

✈️ 1. International Flight to Bhutan

Select the international gateway from which you will fly into Paro International Airport.

Please select the gateway airport from which you will travel to Bhutan.
This section estimates the Bhutan-bound international flight sector between the selected gateway and Paro. It does not include flights from your home country to the selected gateway.
🛩️ 2. Domestic Flights within Bhutan
Examples of approximate one-way distances: Paro → Bumthang: 130 km
Paro → Yonphula: 206 km
Paro → Gelephu: 117 km
Domestic aviation uses an indicative passenger-flight emission factor of approximately 0.229 kg CO₂e per passenger-kilometre.
🚙 3. Road Transportation within Bhutan
For example, enter 10 if the vehicle consumes approximately 10 litres per 100 km.
Vehicle emissions are divided among the travellers sharing the vehicle. Electric vehicles are currently treated as having zero direct tailpipe emissions. Electricity generation and vehicle manufacturing emissions are not included.
🏕️ 4. Accommodation in Bhutan
3-star hotel: Bhutan-specific benchmark of approximately 27.9 kg CO₂e per occupied room-night.
Accommodation emissions are divided among guests sharing the room or tent. The 3-star and 4-star values use available Bhutan-specific hotel benchmarks. Tented camps and Green Hotels/Homestays use indicative planning estimates. The 5-star category currently uses the Bhutan 4/4.5-star benchmark as a conservative proxy until a reliable Bhutan-specific 5-star coefficient is available.
🍲 5. Food & Meals
Food values are indicative research-based estimates rather than Bhutan-specific meal emission factors.
➕ 6. Other Activities or Known Emissions
Optional. Enter a value only if you already know the estimated emissions from another activity that is not included above.

About this calculator

This calculator provides an indicative estimate of travel-related greenhouse gas emissions expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e).

It considers the main components of a journey to Bhutan: international aviation from Bhutan's regional gateway airports, domestic aviation, road transportation, accommodation, food and other known activities.

Actual emissions may vary according to aircraft type and routing, passenger load, vehicle efficiency, road conditions, electricity sources, hotel operations, food sourcing and other factors.

The results are intended for traveller awareness and trip planning and should not be regarded as a certified greenhouse-gas inventory.

Our approach: Measure → Understand → Reduce → Travel Responsibly → Address Residual Emissions
