The basic rule about what can and can't we do in Bhutan

Face masks are no longer required to be worn at any venue or at any time in Bhutan, except in hospitals and health centres. However, travellers can choose to wear face masks at their convenience should they wish. Also, it may be mandated by the government that face mask needs to be worn in the future if the number of COVID-19 cases go up, therefore it is recommended that guest always travel with a face mask in their luggage as a precaution.

On the 24th of June 2022, the National assembly passed the Tourism Levy Bill of 2022. With this new act, the sustainable development fee (SDF) of 65 USD per night has now been increased to 200 USD per night. Along with the increase in the SDF the minimum daily package rate (MDPR) has been removed as well.

18,433+ Satisfied Travelers Reveal How Our Bhutan Travel Packages Provide Unforgettable Cultural Experiences

Kuzuzangpo la! A truly unforgettable solo trip to Bhutan, thanks to the amazing DrukAsia/SoulTrips team! Sangay from DrukAsia seamlessly handled all pre-trip arrangements, ensuring a stress-free experience with itinerary planning, Visa, flights, and accommodations. Lhakpa, my driver from SoulTrips, made the journey safe and comfortable. His exceptional driving skills, especially through the mountainous terrain, were both reassuring and impressive. Yeshey, my guide from SoulTrips, enriched my experience beyond measure. As an introverted traveler, I deeply appreciated her patience, thoughtfulness, and ability to create a welcoming environment while sharing Bhutan’s culture at my own pace. She made the journey both comfortable and fulfilling. Both Yeshey and Lhakpa were incredibly passionate about showcasing the beauty, culture, and traditions of Bhutan. Yeshey’s profound understanding of Buddhism, along with her insightful sharing of Bhutan’s history, practices, traditions, and philosophy, was both enlightening and inspiring.

I had recently visited Bhutan with SoulTrips and it was truly a memorable journey. I would like to extend my thanks to the following individuals who has made this trip remarkable: Sonam Younten: It was a seamless process in planning for this trip. Sonam was prompt and helpful in answering all my queries. Excellent customer service. Guide - Yongko (Kinley): He is knowledgeable and patiently shared insightful details during the site visits and always make sure I am well taken care of, from the food and accommodation to ensuring I stay hydrated. His passion for his work is remarkable. Driver - Dorji: He ensured that we reached our destination safely and it feel good knowing that I was in good hands of an experienced driver. Words could not express the wonderful experience I had. Thank you SoulTrips team for making this trip unforgettable and I look forward to visiting Bhutan again soon!

My recent trip to Bhutan was an incredible experience, made even more special by the outstanding support from my amazing guide, Tshewang and our driver. I was quite stressed navigating the uneven hiking paths, but Tshewang was so patient and encouraging, ensuring I felt comfortable and safe throughout. Her kindness and care truly made a difference. The driver also deserves immense praise as his skillful and cautious driving on Bhutan’s challenging roads ensured our safety and allowed us to relax during the journey. It is a highly underrated yet vital job and he excelled at it.

We had the most wonderful trip. The service is fantastic. We have the best guide (Dorji Tshering) who is extremely patient with us and the best driver (Tshering Wangchok) who drove steadily, confidently and safely. Both Dorji and Tshering pampered us and yet gave us our space in this private trip. Bhutan is presented to us through them and the nation in such an awesome perspective that we started to think and plan about our next trip to this harmonious wonderland.
