What it costs
Request your personalised quote
Costs vary according to your travel dates, accommodation, group size and the experiences you add. When you get in touch we arrange your visa, licensed Bhutanese guide, driver and private vehicle, and hotels, and send you an itemised price — including the government Sustainable Development Fee — before anything is confirmed. Our guide to Bhutan travel costs explains how the pricing works.
Can I change it?
Yes. This itinerary is a starting point. The route, pace, hotels and the time spent in each valley can all be adjusted around you, and journeys are always private — your own guide and driver, no fixed departure dates.
