Electricity in Bhutan is typically supplied at 230 V and 50 Hz frequencies. You can use your electric or electronic appliances in Bhutan without a voltage converter if the standard voltage in your nation is between 220 and 240 V, as it would be in the UK, Europe, Australia, and most of Asia and Africa. Similarly, if your country's standard voltage ranges from 100 to 127 volts, as it does in the US, Canada, and the majority of South American nations, you will require a voltage converter and a plug adaptor before utilizing your equipment. In the event that you intend to visit more than one nation, you can perhaps require a variety of plug adapters. In this situation, if you want to bring several electrical and electronic gadgets, it is advised that you purchase a universal adapter and a conversion kit.
If you are unsure about the voltage issue, you can look for a label on your equipment. If your appliance has a label that reads "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz," it can be used anywhere in the world. In general, all computers accept universal voltages, as do some electric shavers. In order to prevent damaging it, you must examine your equipment and be certain of the voltage needed. You can think about getting a lightweight electric shaver if it is the only electric equipment you are bringing with you. You can also get it in Thimphu or other well-known cities, but not in remote areas. For all of your electronic and electrical goods, it is usually essential to utilize an adapter with a good power surge protector because voltage fluctuations are fairly common in Bhutan. In contrast to a few years ago, power outages are not as frequent today.
Bhutan uses power plugs and sockets of types D, F, and G, often with three round pins that are available in small or large pin sizes. Type F sometimes referred to as "Schuko," is compatible with plugs C and E. The majority of Type D plugs are found in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and several African nations, and they exclusively accept Plug D. The only plug that fits the British-made Type G socket is Plug G.
It is advised to avoid bringing large electrical equipment if you are visiting Bhutan to go trekking in secluded areas. You can bring extra batteries for your portable video camera to last the voyage. Although you will be able to use them, it is advised to bring chargers and adapters with you if you plan to use them in one of Bhutan's larger townships. You can carry essential electrical goods for excursions that include both tours and treks, use them while touring, and then leave them at your accommodation while on the trek.
