From Antigua and Barbuda to Bhutan
When travelling from Antigua and Barbuda to Bhutan: None of your Antigua and Barbuda plug types fit in Bhutan. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (110V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Bhutan
Bhutan uses 230V/50Hz with Type C, D, and M sockets.
Grid & history
Bhutan exports the majority of its electricity to India, hydropower from the Himalayan rivers is the country’s primary export. Domestic demand is small and well-served.
Availability
Reliable in Thimphu, Paro, and along the main valleys. Remote eastern districts can see brief outages.
Sockets & hotels
Mix of Indian Type D and European Type C; M sockets for high-draw appliances.
Energy mix
Almost entirely hydropower; net exporter.
Practical tips
- A universal adapter covering C, D, and M is safest.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
