Visa timing, what a tour package price includes, and what happens if plans change — answered before you have to ask.
For peak season (spring and autumn festival dates), we recommend booking 3–6 months ahead, since flights into Paro sell out early. Winter and summer trips can often be arranged with less notice.
Yes — every tour package on this site is a starting point. Tell us what you’d add, remove or swap, and we’ll send a revised proposal.
Every quote includes accommodation, all meals, a private guide and driver, entry fees, permits and the Sustainable Development Fee. International flights are not included unless stated.
International flights to/from Bhutan, travel insurance, alcoholic beverages, and personal expenses like souvenirs or spa treatments beyond what’s specified in the itinerary.
You need a visa clearance letter before boarding your flight, which we arrange for you — the physical visa is stamped in your passport on arrival at Paro. See our Visa & SDF page for the full process.
A daily fee charged to most international visitors that funds free healthcare, free education and conservation in Bhutan. It’s included in your tour package price, not billed separately. [INSERT YOUR CANCELLATION TERMS]
Yes — Indian, Bangladeshi and Maldivian nationals don’t require a visa, only a permit, and pay a reduced SDF rate. We handle the paperwork for both processes.
Yes — Bhutan has very low crime rates and is considered one of the safer countries in Asia to travel in. Your guide and driver are with you throughout the trip.
Bhutanese cuisine centres on rice, ema datshi (chilli and cheese) and pork or beef dishes; most lodges also serve continental options. Let us know about dietary requirements when booking.
Reliable wifi and mobile coverage in Paro, Thimphu and Punakha; more remote valleys and trek routes may have limited or no connectivity — part of the appeal, for some travellers.
Solo travel is entirely possible — most of our tour packages run as private departures for one traveller or a family, not fixed group tours.
Both routes involve consecutive days of high-altitude walking. A reasonable level of fitness and some hiking experience is recommended; we can advise based on your trekking history when you enquire.
Your guide adjusts the itinerary in real time — rerouting, adding a rest day, or swapping the order of the route. This is exactly the kind of situation a locally-operated team handles better than a remote booking platform.
Cancellation terms depend on how close to departure you cancel, since the SDF and permits are often paid to the government in advance. [INSERT YOUR CANCELLATION TERMS before publishing this page.]
We reply to every enquiry personally, usually within 24 hours.
