Who the tours are for, dates, prices, families and solo travel, and how booking works.
Is a private tour just for our party?
Yes. A private tour is for you and the people you travel with. You have your own licensed Bhutanese guide, driver and vehicle, and you don't share the itinerary with other travellers. If you'd like company, see our small-group departures.
Can we choose our dates?
Yes. Private tours run on the dates you choose, subject to hotel and guide availability. Festival tours follow the festival calendar, so the tshechu sets those dates. For spring, autumn and festival travel, booking four to six months ahead gives you the best hotel choice.
What is included in the tour price?
The package price includes your hotels, all meals, a licensed guide, a private driver and vehicle, entry fees for the sites on your itinerary, permits, the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) and the visa fee. International flights, travel insurance, tips and personal spending aren't included.
What changes the price?
The listed price is per adult for two travellers sharing Standard 3-star hotels, including the SDF and visa. The per-person rate depends on your party size. Your total also changes with the trip length, hotel level and services you choose. Children pay a lower rate. Your itemised quote confirms the price before you book.
Who guides the tours?
A licensed Bhutanese guide, certified by the Department of Tourism. Your guide is with you every day of the trip and arranges the route permits along the way.
Can we bring children, or travel solo?
Yes. Private tours can be shaped for families, with a slower pace and fewer hotel changes, and children pay a lower rate. Solo travellers can book any private tour for one person. Our small-group departures are another option if you'd like to travel with others.
Can I stay in hotels I choose myself?
Yes. Pick a hotel tier on the tour page, or tell us about hotels you've already booked and we'll plan the guide and transport around them. Accommodation in Bhutan must be approved by the Department of Tourism, and we can check a property for you.
How do we pay, and can we change our plans?
When you book, you pay a deposit or the full price by card, securely through Stripe. The balance is due by bank transfer 60 days before you arrive. You can change your dates or tour up to 45 days before departure, or cancel with no admin fee up to 45 days before. You'll see the full terms before you pay.
