Do I need a visa for Bhutan?

Yes, you need a visa for Bhutan. It is issued by the Tourism Authority of Bhutan. As an official tour operator, we take care of this and will send you the Bhutan visa via email approximately 2 weeks before the start of your trip.


When is the best time to visit Bhutan?

The best time to visit Bhutan is during the spring and autumn seasons (March to May and late September to December), when the weather is mild and visibility is clear. Winter months may be cool, especially in higher altitudes, and the monsoon season (June to August) may experience increased rainfall


Do I need special insurance for trekking in Bhutan?

Yes, it is strongly recommended to have travel insurance that covers trekking activities, as hiking or trekking in remote areas and at high altitudes can pose risks.


Are altitude sicknesses a problem while trekking in Bhutan?

Yes, altitude sickness can be a problem, especially on trekking routes reaching altitudes over 5000m. It is recommended to familiarize yourself with symptoms and prevention of altitude sickness before the trip and to plan for adequate acclimatization time. We follow the motto "go high and sleep down," always spending 2 nights in the Paro Valley and 2 nights in the Haa Valley before starting the trek, or we conduct the treks at the end of a tour when you are well acclimatized.


What are the accommodations like during a trek in Bhutan?

Most travelers stay in tents set up by the accompanying team during trekking routes in Bhutan. We provide camping equipment as a tour operator. In some cases, there are also simple lodges or guesthouses along the route.


How difficult are trekking tours in Bhutan?

The difficulty of trekking tours varies depending on the route. Some trekking routes are more challenging and require good physical condition and trekking experience, while others are suitable for beginners. It is important to consider the difficulty levels of each route and choose one that matches your abilities.

How can I plan and book my Bhutan trip?

What are the "SDF state charges" and how are they calculated?

SDF stands for "Sustainable Development Fee" and is a mandatory fee levied on foreign tourists in Bhutan. This fee contributes to financing education, health, and infrastructure projects in the country. The SDF fee is currently USD 100 per person per night. This fee is included in our tour price, and as a tour operator, we remit it to the government before the trip to Bhutan.


Are tips customary in Bhutan?

Tips are not mandatory in Bhutan, but they are appreciated in the tourism industry as a sign of appreciation for good service. It is common to tip guides, drivers, trekking teams, and hotel staff. However, the amount of the tip is subjective and depends on satisfaction with the service.


How do I get to Bhutan?

The usual way to get to Bhutan is by plane. Bhutan has an international airport, Paro International Airport. Selected airlines such as Druk Air (Royal Bhutan Airlines) or Bhutan Airlines offer direct flights to Paro from various cities such as Delhi (India), Kathmandu (Nepal), Mumbai (India), and Bangkok (Thailand). Alternatively, travelers can enter via Kolkata, Bagdogra, or Guwahati by road into western or eastern Bhutan or take flights from there to Paro. It is important to note that travel to Bhutan is only possible through registered tour operators, who must arrange all necessary visa and travel arrangements.
