Travel Bhutan

Bhutan is a small landlocked kingdom at the foothills of the mighty Himalayas. Many have called Bhutan the last Shangri-La on Earth. Bhutan truly is this and much more, in fact the King of Bhutan His Majesty Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuk deems the Gross National Happiness of the Nation greater than its GDP. Bhutan is exotic, mystical and interesting. It’s a country where Chilly is not a spice but an entire dish and the Rice Red.

There are many more such things you will only get to experience in Bhutan. I am sure now you must be curious to visit this strange and mysterious land.

But before we go any further one must know that cost of travel to Bhutan is controlled by the government so as to preserve their way of life and their natural surroundings.
There are very few select government licensed travel agencies, so one must ensure that they book their travel packages to Bhutan from these select Bhutan tour operators. To travel to Bhutan one doesn't require a visa to be stamped at their home country but a letter of approval from the Bhutanese Government which you have to present to immigration at Paro International Airport and they issue a visa on the spot

There is a minimum charge of $ 200 per day that each foreign tourist has to pay which includes a Basic 3 star room, 3 meals, A chauffeur Driven car plus a Government Licensed certified English speaking tour guide. You can always throw in a few extra dollars per day and upgrade your hotel room if you may. Ask you Bhutan tour company also to send you a list of packages with a detailed itinerary for the same.

Most Bhutan tour operator will suggest you a 5-7 day basic travel package for Bhutan but do note there are lots of other customized Bhutan travel packages that they have so feel free to take your pick. So if you love trekking there is a Bhutan trekking package or if you are a newlywed looking for a romantic getaway to celebrate your honeymoon in mystical Bhutan feel free to ask your travel agent in Bhutan to put together a special package designed just for your need.

Last but not the least I would like to formally extend a welcome to all the readers to come and experience Bhutan : The Land of Thunder Dragon themselves
