BHUTAN TRAVEL GUIDE 2024
Greetings avid travellers
My name is Kinga & in this blog, I will try to cover all the informations you will require or need to know prior to your arrival in Bhutan.
Step 1: Find a local tour operator
This is the first step you as a traveller should do while planning your next holiday to Bhutan. Instead of going through and reading through 10's of blogs and articles, get in touch with a local tour operator to get first hand information about how to proceed. This is by far the most convenient and easiest way to plan quicker. As a local tour operator, we will have all the first hand informations you will need. Also, we can help you extensively in planning your trip ranging from the no. of days you need in order to experience a well rounded tour of Bhutan, the best time to visit Bhutan, places of attractions that will be covered, accomodations, kinds of foods available and lots more. Some of the advantages of dealing with a local tour operator directly is that you will be saving a good amount of money as you bypass the middlemen travel agencies based in your home country. The information you receive will be primary information as it comes directly from locals.
Step 2: Decide the date/month of your planned visit
As you converse with the local tour operator you choose, you will be well informed of the best time to visit bhutan, the festivals of Bhutan, etc. Based on all the information you've received, consider what your interest is in. Is it cultural, spiritual, photography, trekking, nature, wellness or mindfulness vacations you are seeking. Once you narrow down what you are seeking, you simply let the tour operator know what you are looking to get out of the trip to Bhutan. The best part of visiting to Bhutan on any package is that it is not just limited to only one aspect of tourism. If you come for a spiritual tour, it will also cover cultural, photography, hiking and trekking, wellness and many more. Therefore you will get to experience a bit of everything in one tour itself.
Step 3: Book your trip well in advance
If you are visiting for the festivals like the Paro tshechu, Talo Tshechu, Punakha tshechu, Thimphu tshechu, Jomolhari festival, black necked crane festival or the Dochula tshechu, then make sure to book your trip well in advance. 4-6 months would be ideal. This is because there are limited flights on these dates and it gets pre-booked well in advance which is why advance booking is highly recommended.
If you are visiting on any date other than the popular festival dates then a minimum of 3-4 weeks would be sufficient as advance booking. You can find the list of 2024 festival date on this link https://a.storyblok.com/f/171618/x/f42da6cdf8/copy-of-copy-of-2024-festival-dates.pdf

The biggest advantage you will have contacting a local tour operator directly is that we will arrange every single detail of your trip by us. From visa lodgements to arranging hotel accomodation, booking professional guides, drivers and vehicle, we will make everything ready prior to your arrival. The hotels we partner with are the best accomodations available which are carefully chosen based on physical inspection of the properties plus based on the reviews left by the guests. Guides are professional in their conduct, drivers are experienced and the trip is well planned and executed.
The local tour operator you choose will send you your approved visa and air tickets and you're set to go. I do understand that choosing the best tour operator will be the hardest part. Once you pass this stage, the rest of the process is very easy. Here at CUDIS vacations, personal well being of our guest and unmatched hospitality is our top priority. With CUDIS, you simply do not choose a product or a mere tour operator but you will be choosing a brand.
