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.
Do I need a guide or a route permit to travel around Bhutan?
A local guide will help you see the best that the country has to offer and will ensure your safety when exploring unfamiliar terrain and altitude. It is mandatory to be accompanied by a guide for any journey or any trek beyond Thimphu and Paro. Guides are also mandatory for visitors who enter Bhutan via our land borders and plan to travel beyond the border towns.
Guests no longer require a Route permit to travel around the country, so long as they are accompanied by a guide certified by the Department of Tourism.
