Bhutan Travel Essentials

Quick Facts

  • Visa & Booking: All visitors must book through a licensed operator and obtain a visa via your operator.
  • Sustainable Development Fee (SDF): Approximately USD 100–200 per day depending on nationality — this helps fund Bhutan’s development and conservation.
  • Best Times: Spring (Mar–May) for rhododendrons & festivals; Autumn (Sep–Nov) for clear skies & trekking.
  • Top Sites: Paro Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest), Punakha Dzong, Phobjikha Valley, Trongsa Dzong.

Practical Tips

Respect sacred spaces — remove shoes, avoid photography where signs prohibit it, and dress modestly. Altitude can affect anyone; hydrate and take it slow on high passes.
