Yes. Indian tourists can go trekking in Bhutan, from the popular day hike to Tiger’s Nest (Paro Taktsang) to several multi-day treks such as the Druk Path, Dagala, Bumthang, and Haa–Paro treks.

However, Indian nationals are not permitted to trek in restricted regions such as Chomolhari, Laya, and the Snowman Trek, as these areas require special military permits.

Guide & SDF Requirements
All treks must be undertaken with a licensed Bhutanese trekking guide, and the applicable daily Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) must be paid for the duration of the trek.
