HOW TO BOOK A TOUR TO BHUTAN

Good morning dear travellers

My name is Kinga and in this blog, I will cover how you as a visitor can book a tour to Bhutan. Pre-covid, a visitor wishing to visit Bhutan other than Indian nationals had to book their tour through a registered tour operator in Bhutan. Post covid, the tourism council of Bhutan and the Royal Government of Bhutan have made several tourism policy changes to adapt to the current market trends and most importantly to give full freedom to a traveller to make their own arrangements. 

A visitor/traveller is no more mandated to book their trip through a registered local tour operator. Instead, you as a traveller can choose to lodge your own Bhutan visa online, book your choice of hotels, arrange for a guide and all meals. This policy change offers travellers a wide array of choices and greater freedom when it comes to where you prefer to stay.

So, if you do not mind the hassle of booking and arranging all logistics from visa processing to hotel bookings, guide, driver and car bookings, then as a traveller, you will have the full liberty to book the trip on your own based on your preference.

However, it is still highly recommended to let the local tour operators book your trip because we as local tour operator make your travel needs seamless while you focus on the fun and adventure.

Benefits of getting your tour booked through a local tour operator or us:

>We lodge the visa prior to your arrival with no add-ons. We then forward the approved visa to your email. Quick and easy

>We book your accomodations in the best hotels that we partner with. These hotels are highly rated by guests. We get the rooms at a lower price because of our partnership with them. You as a guest will be paying the published rate if you book through online plus the online platform commission. 

>We pre-book the best guides, professional driver with vehicle prior to your arrival. We ensure all guides and drivers we work with are professional and proficient which will make your travel comfortable while in Bhutan. 

Things to consider

>The best option to get the best deal is to get in touch with a local tour operator directly instead of routing through a middlemen agent. This will save you a lot of money you will pay in middlemen agency commisison

>Research and read about the local tour operator and their services. Most local tour operators are legit businesses and very less likely you will be scammed

>Talk to us and discuss about your travel plans. Get first hand information and plan accordingly.
