1. Do I need to get a visa to visit Bhutan?
For most nationalities except for Indian, Bangladeshi, Maldivian nationals, 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.
-
2. When is the best time to visit Bhutan?
The best time to visit Bhutan depends on your personal preferences and the specific experiences you are seeking.
Typically, 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 is held in Paro in March or April. The Thimphu Tshechu is help in capital Thimphu in September or October. The Punakha Tshechu is celebrated in February or March in the Punakha Dzong.
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.

3. How to plan a Bhutan Tour?
It typically needs 6 to 10 days. For a 6-day tour, it is highly recommended to visit Paro - Thimphu - Punakha, and return to Paro. Begin in Western Bhutan with around 2 days in Paro, followed by Thimphu (1-2 days) and Punakha (1-2 days). Or, extending your trip by 1-2 days will allow you to explore the less-visited Haa or Phobjikha valleys.

The whole trip was fabulous
The whole trip was fabulous. I contacted with my advisor Kayla, she’s very supportive all the way. I spent the best birthday time ever in such a special place. My driver wangchuk and guide Cheni are very experienced, they gave me a lot of suggestions on how to explore both the cultural and natural environment in Bhutan. The hotel is over expectation as well. We booked for three stars but somehow we had a four stars experience. We stayed in very beautiful resort and could make some fire on our own. I definitely would like to visit more and more in the future.
