Your guide to departure

Bhutan is well connected by air from several major regional hubs. Most travellers fly into Paro International Airport, Bhutan’s only international airport, serviced by Drukair and Bhutan Airlines. Regular flights operate from:

• Kathmandu, Nepal
• Delhi, India
• Bangkok, Thailand

The preferred hub for most of our guests is Kathmandu, where we can also help arrange transfers, hotels, and even optional sightseeing trips or extensions before you head to Bhutan.

All international tourists (except Indian, Bangladeshi, and Maldivian nationals) require a visa and must pay the following:

• Visa application fee: USD 40 (non-refundable)
• Sustainable Development Fee (SDF): USD 100 per person, per night (valid through August 31, 2027)

We kindly ask that you confirm your international flights (to Kathmandu, Delhi, or Bangkok) have already been booked before we proceed with finalising your Bhutan booking or starting visa processing.

Upon booking, we require a deposit which covers:

Motorbike hire

Upon arrival at Paro, our local team will meet you and transfer you to your hotel. From that moment, everything is taken care of — allowing you to relax and enjoy your adventure.

Our tour packages in Bhutan are fully inclusive of transport, support, meals, accommodation, and all other essentials. For details specific to our motorbike trips, please see the dedicated Motorbike Adventures page.

To experience the real Bhutan, we use locally run accommodation rather than international luxury hotels. This keeps costs down and, more importantly, allows you to connect with the country in its most authentic way. Throughout the trip, you’ll stay in comfortable hotels that offer clean facilities, local food, and some truly impressive locations. Most accommodation is based on twin-sharing rooms in well-situated hotels. In the south, our journeys take us into tented jungle camps by rivers in some of Bhutan’s most spectacular natural settings. Occasionally, when hotels are not available, we stay in homestays — a unique experience that adds warmth, character, and a genuine glimpse into Bhutanese life.

Each acomodation has been chosen to balance comfort, local character, and practicality for riders — from well-located hotels, to tented camps in the south, and occasional family-run homestays that give a true taste of Bhutanese hospitality.
