Communications

All major towns and cities have basic communication facilities, including phone, fax, and email services. Local and international calls can be made from all hotels and public phone booths for a fee. Cell phones with a Bhutanese SIM card can also be used in most urban places and some rural places as well.

Standard mail service in Bhutan is handled by Bhutan Post, and is commonly found throughout the country. However, now both DHL and Federal Express have offices in Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan which can be utilized for sending and receiving documents and packages.

Internet facilities are improving and can be found in major cities and towns. Although many of the Internet cafes still rely on a dial-up connection, which can be very slow, high speed wireless and broadband can be found in most places.
