For the largest pilgrimages, Bhutan Airlines now offers a flexible group charter-style fare on the Bangkok–Gaya route for parties of 50 to 60 passengers, letting a group propose its own travel dates rather than fit a fixed schedule. The fare starts from THB 15,000 return per person and is designed for large temple communities and corporate pilgrimage groups heading to Bodh Gaya.
Choose dates that fit your programme
Instead of booking onto set departures, an organiser proposes the dates that suit the group's itinerary and OMG Experience works with Bhutan Airlines to confirm them, subject to operational availability. Because a large block of seats is involved, early lead time is strongly recommended to secure your preferred window. Full conditions are on the offers page.
What the offer covers
The fare is an all-inclusive return price per person, quoted from THB 15,000 with taxes and surcharges included at publishing, for groups of roughly 50–60 travelling together. It suits monastery groups, meditation retreats and company-sponsored pilgrimages that move as one party.
Flight and aircraft
The Bangkok–Gaya route is operated on the Airbus A320. Scheduled timings are outbound B3 801 (Bangkok 08:15, Gaya 11:40, approximately 3h 25m) and return B3 802 (Gaya 12:30, Bangkok 16:00, approximately 3h 30m). For a proposed-date charter, the exact operating days are agreed with your group and confirmed at ticketing.
Baggage allowance
Standard allowances apply: 25 kg checked plus 7 kg carry-on in Economy and 30 kg checked plus 7 kg carry-on in Business. Tell us about robes, offerings or shared equipment so we can plan handling for a large party.
Visas and Bodh Gaya
Most travellers need an India e-Visa before departure, and Gaya is an approved e-Visa entry point; we guide groups through it. Bodh Gaya is about 20 minutes from Gaya Airport by road. For background, see Your first visit to Bodh Gaya and the Gaya destination guide.
How to arrange a charter-style group
Share your passenger count and the dates you have in mind, and OMG Experience will check availability and return a written quote. All fares are quoted in Thai baht, return, per person, inclusive of taxes and surcharges at the time of publishing, and start from the figure shown. Fares, seats and availability are confirmed in writing by OMG Experience, the appointed General Sales Agent (GSA) for Bhutan Airlines in Thailand, before ticketing. No online payment is taken before you receive and approve the final quote.
