We recommend consulting the latest Druk Air schedule for precise timings as you plan your journey to Shangri-La. Essential Insights for Your Mystical Journey To ensure a harmonious and enriching experience in Bhutan, here is vital information for international visitors: • Visa Process: All international tourists (excluding Indian nationals) require a visa for entry into Bhutan. This must be pre-arranged through a licensed Bhutanese tour operator or their international affiliates, such as Bangladesh Eco Adventure. We will expertly guide you through the entire visa application process, ensuring all necessary documentation is meticulously handled for a smooth approval. • Sustainable Development Fee (SDF): Bhutan upholds a "High Value, Low Impact" tourism policy, supported by the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF). This fee contributes directly to funding free education, healthcare, and infrastructure, preserving Bhutan's unique environment and culture. As of 2026, the SDF for international tourists is USD 100 per person per night. This fee is typically integrated into your comprehensive tour package arranged by Bangladesh Eco Adventure. Please note: Nationals from SAARC countries (including Bangladesh) may be eligible for a different SDF rate or exemptions; please inquire for specific details. • Currency: The official currency is the Bhutanese Ngultrum (BTN), which maintains parity with the Indian Rupee (INR). Indian Rupees are widely accepted throughout Bhutan (with the exception of INR 500 and INR 2000 notes). While major credit cards are accepted in urban centers and hotels, carrying some local currency is advisable for smaller transactions and visits to more remote areas. • Best Time to Visit: Bhutan's allure shifts with its seasons. The most idyllic periods for travel are during Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November). These months promise clear, azure skies, comfortably mild temperatures, and the spectacle of vibrant festivals. Summer (June to August) brings the monsoon, while winter (December to February) offers crisp, clear mountain vistas and a tranquil, less crowded experience. • Connectivity: While internet and mobile services are available in most towns, be prepared for limited connectivity in more secluded regions. Wi-Fi is generally accessible in hotels. This offers a unique opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and fully immerse yourself in Bhutan's profound serenity.
