Frequently asked questions


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.


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.


What is the official currency in Bhutan?

The official currency in Bhutan is the Bhutanese Ngultrum (BTN). However, US dollars and EUR € are also widely accepted, especially in tourist areas
