About prices in BhutanBhutan tourism is tightly controlled by the Bhutanese government. Until a decade ago, tourism was so limited that a government department actually ran all the tours. The business is now more open, but prices are still fixed by the government.Airfare from Bangkok to Paro and back is currently US$ 765. From Kathmandu to Paro and back is US$ 395. We can arrange combination air: for example Kathmandu to Paro for a Bhutan adventure, then on to Bangkok to catch a flight home. The ground cost of a Bhutan trip is US$ 200 per person per night you are in the country. Single room / tent supplement is US$40 per night. A horse on trek is US$ 25 per day. If you are not in a party of four or more, there are steep surcharges. If you are solo or a couple, we recommend you look at the trips at the trekking and sightseeing pages. We usually have 4-6 people on those trips. If your program is special or you prefer not to travel in a group, write to us! Bhutan is not cheap, as Nepal is, but the privilege of being one of the first and few visitors and seeing a country unchanged by the modern world is worth it. And it's not expensive either, compared with a lot of vacation packages. Also on the plus side, everything is included, and you can mix and match any activities you like: sightseeing, day-treks and overnighters, longer treks at any level of difficulty, attending festivals or visiting important dharma centers, fishing, birding, and more. We enjoy setting up special events and piquing your unique interests. Druk Air Flights

If you have traveled to countries off the beaten track you probably found it a good idea to relax, be patient, and generally "chill out" rather than expecting things to operate just like at home. In Bhutan those attitudes are essential.The Bhutanese are wonderful people and exceptionally hospitable. That said, things are not always organized or efficient. It is almost certain that something will "go wrong" sometime during your trip: A vehicle will not show up on time or you'll arrive to find the planned hotel is full, for example. The only useful thing to do when something happens is to relax and be patient. One thing you can be sure of in Bhutan - someone IS working to fix the problem, and it WILL all be sorted out. |
