Bhutan is a year-round destination for touring & hiking, however, the high-altitude trekking needs to be undertaken between MAR and early JUN and early OCT to mid-NOV due to extreme cold and snow.

Summers (mid-June-late-September) are usually warm and humid, while winters (Dec-early March) cooler and quite dry with sometime snow falls.

Therefore, if you want to explore Bhutan with good weather then Feb -May and August - November is best time to visit Bhutan for all types of tours and trekking.

Usually the peak tourist season is in the months of  March, April and May, then September, October and November.  So, we recommend your booking at least 7 months ahead. Other offseason time, we suggest booking 4 months in advance if travelling in June, July, August, December, January and February.

The Bhutan Sustainable Development Fee of US$100.00 per person per day is a Government imposed tax to benefit all Bhutanese. Bhutan is a carbon negative country. With climate change, it is imperative that Bhutan continues to conserve its environment, the traditional heritage and culture of the Bhutanese people, along with continuing to provide fee education & health care.

Because the Bhutanese Sustainable Development Fee is Government imposed, for all tourist visitors, Bhutan tours are more expensive.

The actual services provided, when visiting Bhutan are access to a private guide, driver, private vehicle and full package including all meals, accommodation, sightseeing, entry fees to sights and monuments, transfers, taxes, Govt Sustainable development fee (SDF) & visa fees.  We also offer a half package you get all the same inclusions as full package except you must pay your monument & entrance fees direct & lunch is at your own expense.
