Connectivity & Money Recommendation / guidance

Will my phone work? Should I get a local SIM?

Bhutan Telecom (B-Mobile) and TashiCell offer tourist SIMs and eSIMs with passport registration. Coverage is good in towns and on main roads but patchgy on treks. Activation may involve identity checks — it is not always instant. Buy from official counters, not resellers.
