Common questions

Planning a tour to Bhutan

How do you book a Bhutan tour?
Bhutan tours are arranged through a licensed Bhutanese tour operator. Message us on WhatsApp or by email with your travel dates and interests, we send back a suggested itinerary and cost, and once you are happy we arrange your visa, guide, driver and hotels.
Can you visit Bhutan without a tour?
Most international visitors travel with a licensed Bhutanese operator, who arranges the visa, a guide and transport. Your itinerary can still be completely private and flexible — travelling with a tour company does not mean travelling in a group.
How much does a Bhutan tour cost?
The cost depends on your travel dates, the length of the trip, the hotels you choose and the Sustainable Development Fee set by the government. We share a clear, itemised price for your itinerary before anything is confirmed.
Are your Bhutan tours private or in a group?
All of our journeys are private. You travel with your own guide and driver, and the pace, route and stops are shaped around you rather than a fixed departure date.
How long should a Bhutan trip be?
Five to seven days is enough for the western valleys of Paro, Thimphu and Punakha, including the hike to Tiger's Nest. Ten days or more allows you to travel into central Bhutan and its quieter valleys.
