Yes it is. you just need an Indian ID. Permit can be taken from Bhutan House in Kolkata or from Phuentsholing which is India Bhutan Border. You can drive your own vehicle or also you can hire a self driven car from Siliguri Assam. If the vehicle is not in your name than you just need a hand written authorization from the Owner of the vehicle plus a copy of the owners photo ID.
Its a beautiful country smooth roads and nice people. If you smoke than you need to carry your own cigges as it is banned in Bhutan. Max you can carry 200.
