Before booking your tour to Bhutan, here are some important points to consider:

• Visa and Permits: All international tourists (except Indian, Bangladeshi, and Maldivian nationals) need a visa to enter Bhutan. The visa must be arranged through a licensed Bhutanese tour operator or their international partnershttps://www.bucketlistly.blog/posts/things-to-know-before-visiting-bhutanhttps://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/things-to-know-before-traveling-to-bhutan.
• Sustainable Development Fee (SDF): Bhutan charges a daily SDF, which is currently set at $100 per day for most tourists. This fee helps support Bhutan's sustainable tourism initiativeshttps://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/things-to-know-before-traveling-to-bhutan.
• Tour Packages: Independent travel is limited in Bhutan. Most visitors must book a tour package that includes accommodation, transportation, a guide, and meals. This ensures a hassle-free experience and compliance with local regulations.
• Best Time to Visit: The best times to visit Bhutan are during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is pleasant, and many festivals take place.
• Cultural Etiquette: Bhutan is a deeply religious country with many sacred sites. Dress modestly, especially when visiting temples and dzongs. Photography is often restricted inside religious sites.
• Health and Safety: Ensure you have travel insurance that covers medical expenses. Altitude sickness can be an issue in higher regions, so acclimatize gradually.
• Money Matters: Bhutan's currency is the Ngultrum (BTN), but Indian Rupees are also widely accepted. Credit cards are accepted in major hotels and shops, but it's advisable to carry some cash for smaller purchases.
• Connectivity: While Bhutan is modernizing, internet access can be limited in remote areas. Major cities like Thimphu and Paro have better connectivity.
• Packing Essentials: Pack layers of clothing to accommodate varying temperatures, comfortable walking shoes, and any personal medications. Don't forget a good camera to capture the stunning landscapes.
• Respect Local Customs: Bhutanese people are known for their hospitality. Respect local customs and traditions to ensure a pleasant experience for both you and the locals.
