Bhutan Tour Packages
A Bhutan tour package is a bundled travel plan that combines all major elements of your trip into one organised itinerary.
A typical Bhutan tour package for Indian tourists includes:
-
Accommodation for the full stay
-
Local transport with driver
-
Daily sightseeing as per itinerary
-
Assistance with permits and formalities
-
Sustainable Development Fee (SDF)
-
Basic meals (depending on package type)
Instead of planning each component separately, a package offers one coordinated plan. Contact a local Travel Company in Bhutan for assistance.
Why Bhutan tour packages are popular with Indian travellers
Many Indian tourists prefer packages because Bhutan has:
-
Mandatory SDF charges
-
Permit requirements for certain regions
-
Limited transport options
-
Mountain driving conditions unfamiliar to first-time visitors
A package simplifies logistics and reduces uncertainty.
