About Bhutan

Bhutan is the last independent Buddhist kingdom in the Himalayas, wedged between India and China (Tibet), a country of dzongs, monasteries and prayer flags strung between forested ridges that climb from subtropical valleys to peaks above 7,000 metres. It famously measures progress by Gross National Happiness rather than GDP alone, and tourism here runs on a deliberately high-value, low-impact model: every visitor's trip is arranged through a licensed local operator and guide, and a Sustainable Development Fee paid per night supports conservation and free healthcare and education for Bhutanese citizens.

Voyzo's Bhutan tours follow the classic circuit through Paro, Thimphu and Punakha, including the hike to the cliffside Tiger's Nest Monastery, with some itineraries extending further to Gangtey/Phobjikha Valley, Trongsa or a trek. Because travelers often link Bhutan with neighbouring Himalayan destinations, some routes combine it with Nepal, and one crosses into Tibet — each disclosed plainly on the tour page itself, so which nights are in Bhutan and which are elsewhere is clear before booking.

Since Bhutanese tourism policy requires all foreign visitors to travel with a licensed guide and driver rather than independently, a private vehicle and driver aren't an upgrade here so much as the standard, required way to see the country — Voyzo's role is coordinating that required guide and driver with a private, group-only itinerary shaped around your pace.

Plan Your Visit

Know Before You Go — Bhutan

Best Time to Visit

March-May and September-November offer the clearest mountain views and mildest weather, and coincide with Bhutan's major tshechu festivals; the summer monsoon (June-August) brings heavy rain to lower valleys.

Getting Around

All tourism in Bhutan runs through licensed local operators with a private guide and driver included as standard — independent travel without a guide isn't an option for foreign visitors under Bhutanese tourism policy.

Weather & What to Pack

Temperatures vary sharply with altitude — Paro and Thimphu are mild by day and cool at night, while high passes like Dochula and trekking routes can be cold year-round, so layered clothing is essential regardless of season.

Money & Fees

Bhutan uses the ngultrum (BTN), pegged to the Indian rupee, which is also widely accepted. All visitors pay a Sustainable Development Fee per night, which funds free healthcare, education and conservation for Bhutanese citizens.

Dress & Photography

Modest dress is expected when visiting dzongs and monasteries — shoulders and knees covered — and photography inside temple interiors is often restricted, so check with your guide before taking pictures.

High-Altitude Considerations

Paro sits around 2,200m and Thimphu around 2,300m, with some trekking routes and passes going considerably higher — travelers with cardiac or respiratory conditions should check with a doctor before booking an itinerary with high passes.
