About
Bhutan travel guide
Bhutan measures progress by Gross National Happiness, keeps two-thirds of itself under forest, and regulates tourism deliberately — which is why it stays as it is.
The draw is cliffside monasteries, fortress dzongs in every valley, and a landscape that has not been built over.
When to go
Best time to visit Bhutan
March to May brings rhododendron in flower and clear mountain views, and October to December is the clearest and driest stretch of the year with the main festivals.
June to September is the monsoon, with rain and cloud obscuring the Himalaya, though the valleys are green and visitor numbers low. December to February is cold and clear, with snow at the higher passes.

Dochula Pass

Tsechu festivals

FAQs
Bhutan questions, answered
The things people ask us most before booking a Bhutan trip.
What is the Sustainable Development Fee?
Bhutan charges most visitors a daily fee on top of trip costs, with a reduced rate for Indian nationals. The amount has been revised more than once, so we quote the current rate with your package rather than a figure that may be out of date.
Do Indians need a visa?
Indian passport holders do not need a visa but do need an entry permit, arranged through a licensed Bhutanese operator, and must carry a passport or voter ID. We arrange the permits as part of the booking.
How hard is the Tiger's Nest climb?
Around 900 m of ascent over two to three hours on a clear path, at roughly 3,000 m altitude. Ponies can carry you to the halfway cafeteria but not to the monastery itself. Most reasonably fit people manage it.
Can we travel independently?
Indian nationals have more freedom than other visitors, but most travel is still through licensed operators with a guide, which is how the permit system works in practice.
