Bhutan has two networks: B-Mobile (Bhutan Telecom) and TashiCell. B-Mobile has the broadest coverage and serves around 90 percent of the inhabited valleys with 4G, while TashiCell performs especially well in Thimphu. In cities such as Thimphu, Paro and Punakha reception is good, but remote mountain regions have many dead zones. Networks: B-Mobile, TashiCell.
For the tourist route of Thimphu, Paro and Punakha, 3 to 5 GB is enough. For treks in the high mountains, you should often expect no signal at all.
Bhutan is a remote Himalayan country; beyond the cities and main roads coverage is limited, and on treks reception often disappears entirely.
