Is Bhutan An Expensive Destination to Visit?

Bhutan is a Great Value Destination!

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!
