TAKING TOURISM TO THE TOP

Organized Tour

All tours in Bhutan are in a form of “all inclusive package tour”. Independent travel is not permitted and tours need to be booked with a tour operator in the country. The inclusive tour package includes accommodation in tourist-standard hotels, meals, transportation charges, and fees liable to be paid in certain area the tourists visit. Once booked through a tour operator, there is no restriction on the number of travelers visiting Bhutan.
