Bhutan – Land des Glücks

Visitors to Bhutan require a Bhutan visa. The application is simple, processed by Travel Himalaya on your behalf and approval is granted electronically (as PDF). Visitors can enter Bhutan either via Paro International Airport or through designated land borders with India.

Tourism in Bhutan is regulated through the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF). Currently, the SDF is USD 100 per person per night. This compulsory Government tax is part of Bhutan’s “High Value, Low Volume” tourism policy and helps Bhutan maintain its status as a carbon-negative country, protect its forests, preserve cultural heritage and improve infrastructure for locals and tourists alike.

While all our Bhutan Tour Packages are tailored to your preferences, we at Travel Himalaya excel at developing memorable tours from scratch, according to your personal preferences and expectations. We not only organize touristic activities, but are able to put you in touch with interesting personalities from your field of interest. Due to our far-reaching experience, we are able to compose a visit that is truly designed to be unforgettable to you – true to our motto: “Moments that last a life time”.
