How to book a tour

Following your initial enquiry, whether for a scheduled group departure or a private itinerary, we will prepare and send you a proposed itinerary and quotation.

The prices shown for our scheduled group departures include accommodation, meals, permits, visas, support vehicles, guides and motorcycle hire (unless otherwise stated). Flights to and from Bhutan are not included in the trip price.

We can arrange your return flights to Paro from Kathmandu, Delhi or Bangkok. The cost of these flights will be quoted separately and will depend on the gateway, availability and airfare at the time of booking.

To make a provisional flight reservation and confirm availability, we will require a copy of your passport. We will also check the availability of accommodation, guides and motorcycles where applicable.

Once we have confirmed availability and you are happy to proceed, we will invite you to pay your deposit. Upon receipt of your deposit, we will secure your Bhutan flights, visa, permits, accommodation and other travel arrangements, and your booking will be confirmed.

Once you have reviewed your itinerary and are ready to proceed, please complete our booking form and return it to us. This provides us with the information we need to process your reservation and make the necessary travel arrangements.

Once we receive your booking form, we’ll review your application and may get in touch with a few quick questions to ensure the trip is the right fit and meets your expectations.

Your booking is confirmed once it has been accepted by our team and your deposit has been received.

A non-refundable deposit of 20% per person is required to secure your booking. Payment can be made in US dollars or euros. For bookings paid in UK pounds, the amount will be calculated at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of payment.

Once your deposit has been received, we will confirm and reserve your Bhutan flights, visa, permits, accommodation, guides and other travel arrangements in advance of your arrival.

Your booking is confirmed once your deposit has been received and all reservations have been secured.

The balance of your trip cost is due 45 days prior to departure.

Once the balance has been received, we will arrange the issuance of your flight tickets, visa, and travel documentation. These are normally issued and sent to you approximately 30 days before departure, although this may vary slightly depending on airline and visa processing times.

Flights

Flights to and from Bhutan are not included in the trip price. We can arrange return flights to Paro from any of the three main gateways:

Kathmandu – approximately US$500 (€445 / £380) return
Delhi – approximately US$700 (€710 / £605) return
Bangkok – approximately US$900 (€800 / £680) return

If you are thinking about joining the trip, we can normally hold a flight reservation for around a week, giving you time to finalise your international travel plans before committing.

Once we receive your deposit, we will confirm the current fare with you and issue your tickets.

Flights to and from Bhutan are limited and can fill up well in advance, particularly at busy times of year, so we recommend reserving them as early as possible.
