Your guide to departure

Getting to Bhutan is easier than you might think. International flights arrive at Paro International Airport, with convenient connections from Kathmandu, Delhi and Bangkok. Once you’ve decided which gateway works best for your international journey, we can arrange your flights into and out of Bhutan and help make the whole process as straightforward as possible.

From flights and visas to your arrival in Paro, we’ll guide you through every step of the journey.

Flights to and from Bhutan are not included in the tour price. We will reserve these flights for you from Kathmandu (approx. US$500 return), Delhi (US$800) or Bangkok (US$900). Flights include a 30 kg checked baggage allowance. Flights can fill up well in advance, so early booking is recommended. We can normally hold your reservation while you finalise your travel plans.

Kathmandu is our preferred gateway, but we’ll be happy to advise on the best option for your journey.

We arrange your Bhutan visa for you, so there is no need to apply separately. Your US$40 visa fee and the full Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) are already included in your tour price, so there is nothing extra to pay.

Bhutan charges international visitors an SDF of US$100 per person, per night – US$1,000 for a typical 10-night stay. The fee supports Bhutan’s approach to sustainable tourism and contributes towards the country’s development, conservation and infrastructure.

Once we receive your deposit, we’ll take care of your Bhutan arrangements, including your visa, permits and Bhutan flights.

On arrival at Paro International Airport, everything in Bhutan is taken care of.

Your tour includes your Royal Enfield Himalayan motorcycle, accommodation, all meals, fuel, professional guides, mechanic and technical support, support vehicle, airport transfers, visa, SDF, permits and entrance fees.

Flights to and from Bhutan are not included and are charged separately.

We use carefully selected, locally run hotels and lodges that offer comfort, character and a genuine connection with Bhutan. Most are well-located, with twin-sharing rooms and private facilities, while accommodation in more remote areas can be simpler but often more memorable.

On some journeys through southern Bhutan, we stay in tented jungle camps beside rivers, and occasionally in family-run homestays, offering a unique experience of Bhutanese hospitality. Every stay is chosen for its comfort, location, local character and practicality for our riders.
