Important information
- Every visitor to Bhutan travels with a licensed operator. We handle your permits, visa and daily government fee paperwork.
- Tiger's Nest and other high walks mean a steady climb. We build in slow, easy pacing so you can adjust to the altitude.
- Festival and trek dates follow the Bhutanese lunar calendar and change each year. We check the exact dates before you book.
- This day-by-day plan is a starting point. We can change it around your interests, pace and travel dates.
