Happiness is a Place
Bhutan may not remain the same for long, so sometime soon is the best time to travel - Tim Nicolai
You cannot find a more enlightening travel destination today. Perched high on the mighty Himalayan range, the kingdom of Bhutan has defied globalization and chosen to remain a hidden paradise, accessible only to few.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What’s the difference between booking a trip directly through Breathe Bhutan and travel agents abroad?
Breathe Bhutan is a local tour agency, operating from Bhutan. There will be some savings by booking your trip directly through us. The agents abroad are commission agents and you will be paying a commission on top of the rate charged by a local tour operator. When you book your trip through travel agents abroad, they ultimately need to deal with local operators in Bhutan because tourist visas can be only be arranged by a local operator.
What does it cost to visit Bhutan?
On 20th June 2022, the Royal Government of Bhutan revised the Tourism Bill. The Sustainable Development Fee (SDF or Royalty) is now increased from US$ 65 to US$ 100 per night per person. This means a travelers will pay US$100 per night as SDF/royalty and pay additional for the actual travel cost; such as government approved hotels, vehicle, guide fee and meals.
As a thumb rule, it will cost you in the range of USD250 – USD350 per person per day (including the USD100 SDF for visa); depending on the number of people in the travel group. For a solo traveler, it will cost USD350 per day (including the USD100 SDF for visa). Therefore a five day visit will cost USD1750. This cost will cover all aspects of the trip, such as hotel rooms, all three meals, guide, driver, visa SDF, water, tea, coffee and snacks. It will not cover, air tickets, alcoholic beverages, shopping and tips.
The old Minimum Daily Tariff of USD 250 (season) and USD200 (lean season) per person per night is no longer valid. This Minimum Daily Tariff used to cover all travel expenses as well. Such as hotel room, meals, guide and vehicle with driver.
Would we need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is no longer a requirement for visa application. Therefore it is up to the guest, weather they would like to insure their travel or not. We can help you purchase a travel insurance from a Bhutanese Insurance Company and the cost ranges from USD10-40 depending on the length of the stay and coverage.

When is the best time to travel in Bhutan?
The best time to visit Bhutan is when you happen to be in Asia or in the neighboring countries like Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Thailand and Singapore.
Two seasons, March to May and September to November, are the best times to travel in Bhutan. The climate is good then and there are many festivals in these seasons. You can travel during the rest of the year too but June, July and August are slightly humid because of the onset of the monsoon while December, January and February are the cold winter months.
You can visit western Bhutan (Thimphu, Paro, Punakha and Wangduephodrang) anytime of the year. Avoid central and eastern Bhutan during the monsoon months of July and August when the weather is sometimes a little too wet and clouded for sightseeing.
