Frequently asked questions

Do Indian nationals need a visa for Bhutan?

Indian, Bangladeshi and Maldivian nationals do not require a visa for Bhutan. A valid passport or voter ID is sufficient. Bhutan issues a travel permit at the border (Phuntsholing) or at Paro airport, which the tour guide assists with on arrival.

What is the best time to visit Bhutan?

March to May brings spring blooms and the Paro Tsechu festival. September to November offers crystal-clear skies, perfect for mountain views and the Tiger's Nest hike. June to August is monsoon season — green and atmospheric but with intermittent rain. Winter (December to February) is cold but peaceful and less crowded.

Is Bhutan expensive?

Bhutan charges Indian nationals a Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) of approximately INR 1,200 per person per night, which is included in our packages. There is no daily minimum spend requirement for Indian travellers beyond the SDF.

What currency does Bhutan use?

The Bhutanese Ngultrum (BTN), which is pegged 1:1 to the Indian Rupee. Indian Rupee notes are accepted everywhere in Bhutan except the ₹2,000 denomination. ATMs are available in Thimphu and Paro but not always reliable; carry enough cash from India.

How difficult is the Tiger's Nest hike?

The hike to Taktsang Monastery (Tiger's Nest) is moderate — about 2.5 to 3 hours up and 2 hours down, gaining roughly 900 metres from the base. The trail is well-marked and ponies are available for the first stretch. Fit beginners manage it comfortably. Starting early (7–8 am) avoids crowds and afternoon cloud.
