How to plan Bhutan trip in 2023 | Budget | Itinerary | Permit | Complete Travel Guide

[@AkshayKumar-jl7fn]

Hi hello. I am from India I just visited Bhutan. And there is no holidays for immigration office. It’s open 24/7 only on the auspicious/National holidays are there.

[@dishitandgunjan]

Thanks for letting us know. We will pin your comment for others. Hope you had a good time in Bhutan 😀

[@singyestudio608]

I am from Bhutan but I study in India. Yup, you all are quite loud. I once thought that people were querrelling but simply they were talking. Thanks for visiting our country. I always tell to my friends that it is expensive country to visit but you won't regret. Thanks.

[@dishitandgunjan]

Yes, this is something I am not really proud of but yes this is reality and I accept that. Majority of the people who travel from India to Bhutan are from adjoining border areas like Assam, West Bengal and Bihar. And they are reaaalllyy loud. And it is correct to say that a good experience comes with an equally good price. 😂 Thank you for stopping by and dropping a comment 😀

[@MMh738]

Even within India there are different cultures and it influences people's behavior. Even among Indians, generally I have observed tourists from Bihar/UP/West bengal/Haryana are unusually loud when travelling within the country. May be they don't notice or even realise that, since culturally it's the norm. But it seems like a nuisance and lack of public decorum from other's perspectives. These cultural differences between different ethnic /cultural backgrounds among us is something even we struggle with.

[@dishitandgunjan]

Thanks. We booked it through Ease India travels

[@sheethaltharun8005]

Hii ..vry informative blog......can I know is there any dress code to visit monestries in bhutan

[@dishitandgunjan]

No dress code for tourists. 😊

[@ashwinsphadke8846]

Hey is it possible to book hotels and decide itinerary ourselves, but hire only taxi and guide for entire stay.

[@dishitandgunjan]

Yes definitely possible to book hotels and customise your itinerary. But Bhutan is different from other countries and its always recommended to hire guide taxi and booking from same place. This way you will get discount on overall package

[@kavyanayak5461]

Very good information, v r planning to go,but my question is,for how much days v can plan for

[@dishitandgunjan]

Thank you so much. The number of days completely depends on how many places you want to cover. If you want to go with generic itinerary and cover Thimphu, Punakha and Paro, then number of days required would be 4-5. Hope this helps Happy travelling😀

[@shutterthelens4995]

Is self-drive cars allowed in Bhutan? if allowed how do we opt for guide? guide will also come with us?

[@dishitandgunjan]

Own vehicles from India are allowed but that will involve an additional cost of 4700/- per day. You can only rent a Bike in Bhutan for local sight seeing or longer rides but car rentals are not there in Bhutan. The Guide will come with you in your car throughout the trip or otherwise you will have to pay for the guide's transportation as well and you can get a guide from Phuentsholing. Happy Travelling😊

[@vishalmahajan9375]

Hi.. i am planning for Bhutan.. without any travel agent/planner... how can i book a mandatory guide for my trip ? ..considering rest of the bookings i have made myself..

[@dishitandgunjan]

You can talk any of your stays, they can connect you to a guide for full trip otherwise you can hire one from any of the entry points like their immigration offices and around airport also

[@athulnath2260]

How do you guys rent motorcycle? please share. also how guide will travel with us if we rent a motorcycle?

[@dishitandgunjan]

We hired the guide and rented a bike through Ease India travels. The guide will travel in his car with all your luggage. Definitely an additional cost.

i am thinking of visiting Bhutan in Feb, is this a good time to visit the place?

[@dishitandgunjan]

Well, I will say It's the ideal time if cold weather does not bother you as it will be cold and snowy during Feb. Hope this helps. Happy travelling😀

[@dev26ful]

Is it worth the money spent?? If we consider a cost for 2 people for 6-7 days, it will easily exceed 2 lacs.

[@dishitandgunjan]

Well that would be very subjective to answer. If you are comparing it with overhyped locations and more glittery places than those places definitely one step ahead. However, if you want to see their culture and their reason for happiness then this is the place for you my dear. It's worth the experience. Rest it's only you who can decide if it's worth or not Happy travelling😊

[@hiyagogoi3511]

Is January a good time to visit Thimphu and Paro?

[@dishitandgunjan]

January would certainly be snowy and cold😂

[@Gujju_boy_rocks]

Hello thanks for the information Can you tell us where to find guide as we have not booked so after immigration can we book there ?

[@dishitandgunjan]

Yes you will find them around immigration offices. But make sure you hire them otherwise you will not find them elsewhere Happy travelling 😀

[@rameshnarwal9078]

can we take private car of my bhutanese friend living in Phuentsholing for teavel to Paro-thimphu.

[@dishitandgunjan]

I don't think it would work like that in Bhutan. You will have to show all documents along with vehicle details and everything at the entry of every city you wish to visit. And in case any COP stops you with such an arrangement then both you and the vehicle owner will be fined heavily. Hope this helps. Happy Travelling😊

[@shruthiholla2671]

Very well explained. You went via any travel ajency ?

[@dishitandgunjan]

Thank you so much. We planned everything ourselves however we rented bikes from easeindiatravel .You may check with them they provide complete package deals as well. Happy Travelling ❤️

[@tinlife5082]

Can we use local taxis or bus transportation in thimpu and paro when trip is without a guide for indian tourist

[@dishitandgunjan]

Yes you can.. but with that you will not be able to go to few Monasteries and tourist destinations. Happy travelling😀

[@tinlife5082]

@@dishitandgunjan thanks for your reply. We can get an entry permit without a guide right , cause everywhere has confusing answers. Basically entry permit to Thimphu and paro only without a guide for an Indian

[@kashishbarot2298]

What is the best way to book budget friendly hotels? (Any way except these websites like booking, kayak and those)

[@dishitandgunjan]

Best is to get your package with any of the travel agencies from Bhutan or partners operating in India. Then you will get an all inclusive like guide, transport and your own additions at a reasonable cost. Happy travelling😀

[@sandeeployalka8877]

So one needs a guide only if going to places other than Thimphu & Paro? If going only to these 2 places, one doesn't need to hire a guide?

[@jaishrivenkat3394]

Is it good to visit bhutan in 2 nd week of May?

[@dishitandgunjan]

Yes, it would be great 😊

[@mkmarak]

Hi. This was a helpful video. Just one question: Do they accept online modes of payment like Gpay, BHIM, PhonePe, YONO, etc. in Bhutan? It would be inconvenient to carry large amounts of money in cash. Kindly respond please

[@dishitandgunjan]

Not really, Though Bhutan is the first country to adopt Indian UPI but I don't think it is fully functional as it's in India. Even your Visa or MasterCard credit/debit cards will also not work there.. Rupay cards work in some of the places. Best is if you are taking a package or hiring a guide them make online transfer to them in advance and ask them money on the way. Even we did all the shopping in cash. Hope this helps Happy travelling😀

[@mkmarak]

@@dishitandgunjan okay thanks for the suggestion. 🙏🏻

[@dhritibiswas5936]

how is the weather in bhutan during the month of may ?? will it be hot?

Do we need to pay SDF for stay in phuetsholing

For Phuentsholing you don't need a permit so no SDF. It will be implemented when you plan to go beyond. Happy Travelling😊

@@dishitandgunjan you wrote in your video that 1200 sdf + 1500 guide + 3000 hotel = 5700. Is this cost per person? So 3000 for hotel and 1500 for a guide is per person or for a couple?

[@rinzinwangchuk173]

There is a misinformation about USD$15 or RS1200 SDF is only for Indian travellers, those who travel from Maldives and Bangladesh need to pay USD $200.

If taking bike rental,how will the guide accompany? Is 1200rs cover food,travel,stay expense of guide? Or guide travels along our bike?

[@nowpresent2167]

Ok tax 1200+guide1500 approx,but does guide have own vehicle for traveling,if we book bike?

[@dishitandgunjan]

On a high level, you have to bear guide's travel cost. However, they can get this for themselves at negotiable rates. Moreover, many guides move with their own vehicle where you have to pay for fuel and minimal vehicle cost to them. Hope this helps. Happy Travelling😊
