Do I need to get a visa to visit Bhutan? Any other costs and rules?

Visa Requirements: For most nationalities, a visa is required to enter Bhutan. This visa can be obtained through a licensed Bhutanese tour operator, such as Asia Odyssey Travel. Additionally, you will need to pay the visa fee of $40 and the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) of $100 per night, which is effective from September 1, 2023, until August 31, 2027. Please contact us to begin the Bhutan visa application process.

Visa Exemption (with permit and SDF requirements): Indian, Bangladeshi, and Maldivian nationals are exempt from obtaining a visa to enter Bhutan. However, they still need to arrange for a permit and pay the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) in advance.

For travelers who want to visit Bhutan, it is recommended to book the tour with us at least one month in advance.

How many days for a classic Bhutan tour?

A classic Bhutan tour typically lasts between 6 to 10 days, allowing ample time to explore the country's captivating destinations. Begin in Western Bhutan with around 2 days in Paro, followed by Thimphu (1-2 days) and Punakha (1-2 days). To delve deeper into Bhutan's cultural heritage, head to central Bhutan for 1-2 days to visit Trongsa and Bumthang. This itinerary ensures a well-rounded experience, showcasing the best of Bhutan's natural beauty and historic sites. For a 6-day tour, it is highly recommended to visit Paro - Thimphu - Punakha, and return to Paro for a classic visit in Western Bhutan. Adjust the duration according to your preferences.

When is the best time to visit Bhutan?

The best time to visit Bhutan largely depends on your preferences and the activities you wish to engage in. However, the popular tourist seasons are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when the weather is generally pleasant and the skies are clear. These seasons offer great opportunities for outdoor activities, trekking, and witnessing Bhutan's vibrant festivals.

The Paro Tshechu, a lively masked dance festival, takes place in Paro in March or April. If you're in Bhutan in September or October, you can experience the Thimphu Tshechu, a grand festival held in the capital city. Another notable festival is the Punakha Tshechu, celebrated in February or March in the Punakha region. These festivals offer a unique opportunity to witness Bhutan's rich traditions and colorful celebrations.

Winter (December to February) can be cold, especially in higher elevations, but it offers stunning views of snow-capped mountains. The monsoon season (June to August) brings heavy rainfall, but it can still be a good time to visit for lower tourist numbers and lush green landscapes. Ultimately, the best time to visit Bhutan depends on your personal preferences and the specific experiences you are seeking.

I had my 6-day trip organized to Bhutan with Asia Odyssey Travel, and it was definitely one of the best trips in my life!

Excellent experience in Bhutan with AOT Team

Runny was my initial contact with AOT and she couldn’t of done more to help organise my trip to Bhutan, from advice to
Visas she was always available to answer my queries, even at weekends and evenings
Arrival into Bhutan met by my guides for the week, Migma and Chimi and our driver, we were a group of 9 and for the next 6 days we were totally looked after
From the tour to the accommodations to the food everything was faultless, our guides knowledge was outstanding sharing history and stories about Bhutan and also personal stories about lifestyle in Bhutan. No question was ever left unanswered and no question was too much
Bhutan is a beautiful country, with warm kind hearted people, who couldn’t do enough for you … I left with a tear in my eye… Bhutan you stole my heart, made even more special by Migma and Chimi and the team at AOT
Thank you …. I will be back one day

Fantasitic trip to unique locations.

We decided about a month before we went that we would like to go to a place we had always talked about but until now hadn't done so. After searching the internet, we found Asia Odyssey Travel and Zeva. They helped us to plan a trip called the senior tour which took us from Xining, through Lhasa Tibet onward to Nepal and finally we added Bhutan. I had always wanted to go to Bhutan once I had heard of the Gross National Happiness they sought for their people. From the beginning working with Zeva was a breeze. She helped us plan our trip and kept in touch with us throughout the journey. Asia Odyssey uses local guides for each segment of the trip that have a stake in and live in the culture they share with us. The enthusiasm the guides showed in sharing their history, special places, and unique culture was quite evident and made the experience much more enriching. There was little to no shopping stops unless you chose to do so which left more time to really immerse yourself in the places you were visiting. Zeva as well as the guides were very flexible in their approach which made planning and making the most of trip easy to accomplish. The care and concern were very evident which made for a smooth, safe and enjoyable experience. The communication was excellent and Zeva gave us the tips we needed to get our visa and Tibet travel papers. I cannot recommend their services enough.
