    Frequently asked questions about this trip

    General questions

    Spring and Autumn are the most popular time to visit Bhutan. During Spring, one can experience cultural Bhutanese festivals, especially during April and May. It is also warmer and skies are clearer for amazing sightseeing tour. The climate is also favorable during Autumn (September and October) for a perfect hiking holiday exploring ancient fortress of Bhutan.

    Yes, of course you can visit Bhutan during Summer/Monsoon (June to August) and Winter (December to February). You can enjoy the hiking tour with less crowd but the climatic conditions are not quite favorable during these seasons. Summer and Monsoon will be wet and the winter has very cold weather, thus you may not experience the best holidays in Bhutan during these seasons.

    Visa confirmation letter is the first important document, so keep it with you all the time and make a copy of it too. We shall help in your visa processing for Bhutan prior to the start of your trip.

    Also take a copy of your tour itinerary with you.

    You can carry up to 20 kg in economic class and 30 kg in business class. An extra 5 kg is also allowed to store in overhead baggage bin or under passenger’s seat.

    Yes, definitely. We can arrange you a private tour too as per your demand and flexibility but under Bhutanese state laws.

    We offer customization in the itinerary to our valued clients. After all it is you traveling and it must be beneficial to you according to your interests. Indeed, we have carefully crafted and specially designed our itinerary but you have the right to amend it and make necessary changes. Please let us know and we shall make changed accordingly.

    You will travel in a comfortable, cleaned and well maintained 4WD car and Hiace. You can request for a change if you are not comfortable with it.

    Meals are included on your trip cost. You can enjoy a variety of exotic food in the land of Thunder Dragon. Hotels serve Indian, Chinese and continental food as your wish. You can try the Emadatse, the national diet of Bhutan which is spicy chilies mixed with a cheese sauce. Both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes will be available. Red and white rice will be served in all the meals. You may ask the hotel/restaurant for better suggestions regarding seasonal food.

    It is better to purchase mineral water which is readily available all along the Bhutan tour. Choose the recognized brand rather than the local brands and avoid the tap water which is not quite safe.

    Many people do not have altitude sickness problem though the altitude in Bhutan is higher. But this may be a problem to few ones. Altitude sickness can be avoided if you make some preparations before you arrive in Bhutan. Being physically fit and in good shape helps a lot. It is also advised that you consult your local doctor regarding AMS and medicines in case of emergencies.

    Important notes ( Read before you book )

    Some important things to know before you go
    • Visa & Passport Information

      All foreign nationals are required to obtain a visa in order to enter Bhutan. A Bhutanese Visa must be obtained prior to your arrival i.e. before entering in Bhutan because Druk Air allows boarding only after your visa clearance from Bhutan government. Since, no embassy abroad or foreign mission can grant a tourist visa, your visa needs to be processed by local tour operator, thus we will be assisting you to obtain tourist visa. Your passport must be at least 6 months valid after you leave Bhutan. Please send us a copy of your passport in order for us proceed to apply for the visa. Also, bring at least 3 recent passport photos (for your Bhutan Visa, Entry permit, etc.)
