People often ask ‘Is Bhutan an expensive destination to visit?’
Despite what so many travel journos claim, Bhutan is not an expensive destination for travellers content with a 3 star hotel standard of accommodation.
And where else does US$220 – US$270, person per night, include:
- a private guide;
- private driver and vehicle;
- all touring & transfers;
- all meals and bottled water;
- a delightful traditional Bhutanese 3-star hotel with private bathroom;
- all sightseeing, hiking & entrance fees;
- Plus Govt tourism fees & local taxes.
Furthermore you’ll usually get free wifi at your hotel as well.
Plus, the visa fee is only US$40 per person, which again contradicts what many claim to be an extortionate price!
HOT TIP:
To obtain the lowest tour cost in Bhutan, travel as a party of 3 or more and travel in either the summer months (JUN-AUG) or winter months (DEC-FEB). Both periods offer exceptional experiences and without the crowds!
