Tours that work well on your own
Private routes with your own guide and driver, on dates you choose.
Prices are per adult for two sharing; your quote for one traveller includes your own room.
Prefer company? Our small-group departures run on set dates, and you can book a single place.
Choose the help you need
If you enjoy choosing your own hotels, share your bookings and overnight stops with us. We can arrange a local guide, with a vehicle and driver if needed. If you are unsure where to start, we can suggest a route and help with accommodation too.
Let your guide know when you want to hear more about a place and when you prefer a quiet walk or a slower afternoon. Personal time still needs to fit guiding and site-access requirements. Our independent travel guide explains the practical arrangements.
A quote for one person
Ask for the total for your own trip, including your room arrangements. You will not be splitting a private guide or vehicle with another traveller. Hotels, meals and entry fees depend on what you ask us to arrange; visa and SDF requirements still apply. We record what you handle yourself and confirm the costs before you book.
Read the trip cost breakdown for context, then request a quote for your dates. If you'd rather travel with others, our small-group departures run on set dates.
Start with a route, then make it yours
Browse our private tours for ideas. Tell us which places you want to spend longer in, how much walking you enjoy and anything you have already booked. We will help check what fits the time you have.
Questions about travelling on your own
Can I book a Bhutan trip for just one person?
Yes. We can plan a private trip for one traveller with a licensed local guide. You choose your dates and agree the route with us. You do not need to bring a group.
Will I join other travellers?
Only if you want to. A private trip is just for you, and your quote doesn't depend on finding other travellers. If you'd like company, our small-group departures run on set dates. Rooms aren't shared between strangers, so the price shown for one adult already includes a single room.
Can I book my own accommodation?
Yes. Choose approved accommodation and share your overnight stops with us. We can arrange your licensed guide, add a vehicle and driver, or help with more of the trip. Your quote records who handles each service.
How much does a solo trip cost?
Request a quote for one traveller with your dates, route and preferred services. A private guide, vehicle and room are not being shared with a second traveller, so do not assume a per-person price based on two people applies. Your quote confirms room occupancy, guiding, transport and any government fees we arrange.
Can I have time to myself while travelling with a guide?
Tell us how much structure and conversation you prefer. We can leave room for quieter stops and personal time within guiding and site-access requirements. Route changes still need to work with driving times, booked hotels, weather and safety requirements.
Tell us what you have in mind
Share your dates and the places you want to see. We'll send an itemised quote for one traveller.
