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.

With this new act, the sustainable development fee (SDF) of 65 USD per night has now been increased to 200 USD per night.

I had a fantastic time! My guide Kinley was most knowledgeable and helpful whilst my driver Namgay was very careful. When I had motion sickness he drove over bumps ever so slowly. The atmosphere in Bhutan is very unlike other developing countries, likely due to limited number of tourists. I had many interesting exchanges with locals especially girls. It was fun to dress up for the Haa Summer Festival. Overall a very good job! Thank you.
