General information on our Bhutan tours

We operate the listed tours as weekly departures with a minimum requirement of three participants. In case there are less than three sign-ups, we will still operate the tour; however an FIT surcharge will apply. We limit the maximum group size to 12, and on most departures we have been four and eight people. Our groups tend to be an international mix of people from different walks of life, mostly between 20 and 50 years old.
Our partnership with quality operators in Bhutan ensures a smooth journey and a memorable experience. There are no join-ins or "pooling" once the tour starts. Trips involving overland journeys use 4WD Land Cruiser for small groups, and Toyota Coaster minibuses for larger groups.
We can operate private departures for any number of people; we also operate longer driving & trekking tours in Central and East Bhutan. Contact us for more information.
All visitors require a visa to enter Bhutan. Visas are only issued on arrival at Paro airport; however, a visa authorization needs to be obtained beforehand. We will obtain your visa authorization; this must be done at least one week before your intended arrival in Bhutan.
We use the best available hotels on our tours; they are all clean and well-maintained, though hotels vary in style and quality from town to town. Accommodation is on twin-sharing, full-board basis. All hotels have their own restaurants and some also have a bar. Traditional Bhutanese cuisine is very hot and spicy. The food served to tourists is tempered to western tastes and includes western dishes. Evening meals are invariably buffet style and served in the dining rooms of the hotels.
The cost quoted is based on a minimum of three participants. In case there are less than three sign-ups, an FIT surcharge will apply as follows:
| FIT Surcharge | |
| 1 person | US$40/ night |
| 2 persons | US$30/ night |
Prices are liable to change without notice – please confirm at the time of booking.
The tour cost includes return airfare, accommodation on twin-sharing, full-board basis (breakfast, lunch, & dinner), all airport & other ground transfers as indicated on the itinerary, sightseeing tours led by a native English-speaking guide, monastery entry fees, and visa authorization for Bhutan.
Not included are Bhutan visa fee (US$20 payable on arrival at Paro airport), Nepal re-entry visa, airport taxes, additional expenses incurred in delays due to unforeseeable events like flight cancellations, insurance, personal expenses, and tips.
We do not provide insurance; participants must be covered with a comprehensive travel insurance policy that includes emergency evacuation. We cannot be held responsible for any changes in the itineraries, flights, or accommodations from causes beyond our control, including but not limited to natural, technical, and political factors. While we will do our utmost to make your journey safe and comfortable, you travel at your own risk at all times. You will be asked to sign an assumption and release of risk form at the pre-departure briefing.
