All International tourists wishing to enter Bhutan require a visa which must be pre-arranged through a license Bhutanese Tour Operator or one of their international partners. Visa clearance must be obtained through your tour operator prior to travel. For Indian passport (or VIC) holders, Bangladeshi nationals and persons from the Maldives may obtain a visa on entry.

The most distinctive characteristic of Bhutanese cuisine is its spiciness. Chillis are an essential part of nearly every dish and are considered so important that most Bhutanese people would not enjoy a meal that was not spicy. Rice forms the main body of most Bhutanese meals. It is accompanied by one or two side dishes consisting of meat or vegetables. Pork, beef and chicken are the meats that are eaten most often. A wide selection of western and Indian food is also available in many of the restaurants around the country.

Bhutan is an all-season destination. Spring and summer fill the landscape of myriad flora and fauna. Autumn casts a bright Golden glow on the landscape. The crisp winter air and the clear skies make it ideal for capturing some of the best Mountain views. And all year round, there is a unique sense of peace and contentment in the environment marked by traditional festivals as people celebrate the festivals in ancient local traditions.

The $200 per day (low season) and $250 per day (high season) package includes a minimum of 3 star accommodations, costs for food, an experienced guide and transportation (with driver) within the country. Also included in the price is a $65 per day Sustainable Development Fee that goes towards free education, free healthcare and poverty alleviation. All of these services will be arranged by your tour operator.

There is no limit on the number of tourists admitted into the country each year. In order to protect our culture, traditions and natural environment the government has adopted a strict policy of “High Value, Low Impact Tourism”. This policy is aimed at attracting discerning tourists that will respect the unique culture and values of the Bhutanese people while also providing the visitors with an unforgettable one of a kind experience.

The best time to do a Bhutan trekking tour is in the months of April, May, September, October and November. However there are certain treks which you can do in other months as well. Like the legendary Punakha, Winter Treks are suitable to do in winter. However during monsoon season (Starting from late June to August), the Bhutan trekking Tour is not recommended. There could be unexpected rainfall and unfriendly Leeches. But there are short day treks available throughout the year. Although Bhutan has four seasons (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), the climate in each season cannot be generalised due to the height difference between north and south. The subtropical climate of the flat southern region features moderate winters, a hot spring, and a longer monsoon season. Trekking in Bhutan is unlike anything else you've ever done. Take in the culture and natural splendour of this amazing kingdom. The equally profound scenery and culture of Bhutan will astound you, from the majestic Himalayan panoramas to virgin lakes.
