The basic rule about what can and can't we do in Bhutan

Face masks are no longer required to be worn at any venue or at any time in Bhutan, except in hospitals and health centres. However, travellers can choose to wear face masks at their convenience should they wish. Also, it may be mandated by the government that face mask needs to be worn in the future if the number of COVID-19 cases go up, therefore it is recommended that guest always travel with a face mask in their luggage as a precaution.

On the 24th of June 2022, the National assembly passed the Tourism Levy Bill of 2022. With this new act, the sustainable development fee (SDF) of 65 USD per night has now been increased to 200 USD per night. Along with the increase in the SDF the minimum daily package rate (MDPR) has been removed as well.

18,433+ Satisfied Travelers Reveal How Our Bhutan Travel Packages Provide Unforgettable Cultural Experiences

Bhutan has always been on my bucket list and it didn’t disappoint. It is truly a beautiful country, with an amazing culture and lovely, friendly people. We joined Michael Lee’s photography tour and were treated to some heartwarming moments, like a visit to the Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup nunnery in Punakha where we got to meet the sweet and friendly nuns. That experience will stay in my heart for a long time. Kudos also to our excellent guide Chencho Tsering and driver Sigay. What I really loved was the flexibility, eg, traveling to more remote and less crowded places, and bringing us to eat where the locals eat, away from the tourist street (the best momos, better than all the fancy ones!). It gave the feeling of a less commercial, more personal tour. Thank you, and we will be back!

Bhutanese are one of the kindest, respectful, simplest and meekest people I’ve met. Definitely witnessed their sense of compassion to all beings, contentment and joy in the littlest things and their sense of community. I was welcomed with warm smiles & generously spoiled with goodness, genuine care & kindness and utmost service (like royal treatment!) by my guides tashi & karma - from soul trips co / druk asia and the ones from the hotels I’ve stayed in and every friendly face I met on the trip. I was traveling solo but they made me feel right at home, like I belong. Their pursuit of inner peace, mindfulness, and compassion is a way of life and not just a religious practice and it radiates. It is the land of happiness, indeed. this was a trip for the soul, and my soul was happy indeed. Special mention to Tashi & Karma of Soul Trips for making my birthday trip more fun, special & memorable and making me feel safe + to Sangay of DrukAsia for making it so quick, seamless and smooth to plan & book everything in less than a week before my trip. It’s an experience of a lifetime, definitely memories for keeps!

Words can’t explain the beauty of Bhutan and its people. Our guides were awesome with their professionalism, patience and attentiveness to our needs. We were well taken care of and felt like we were part of the Bhutan family. The hotel staff were polite and friendly making our stay a pleasurable and comfortable one. I teared on the last day as the week flew by in the blink of an eye. Brief as it may, the heart warming experience has changed my perspective of life. I see beauty in simplicity and simplicity in itself is deep with meanings. Special mention to our Bhutanese guides Dorji Tshering and Tshering Wang Chuk who put in their best efforts to ensure we had a wonderful and safe experience in Bhutan. I give them a 6 out of 5 stars.

We had a very enjoyable and memorable trip. It was a hassle free experience to arrange the itinerary with the tour office. Communication was prompt, informative and accurate through email. Many thanks to both our local guide Tashi Tshering and driver Sonam Zangpo for creating such wonderful experiences. They are warm, friendly and knowledgeable and did their best to accommodate our requests regarding meals and activities on the trip. We got a glimpse of the culture and way of life in bhutan through them in the short 1 week we spent together. Highest praise for their passion, excellence and professionalism!
