Common questions
Bhutan charges a government SDF of US$100 per adult per night (halved for children 6–12), which funds free healthcare, education and Bhutan's carbon-negative forests. We build it transparently into your quote and handle the visa and permits end to end.
It's a 4–5 hour round trip climbing roughly 500 m to 3,120 m. A steady walker manages it comfortably with our pace — mules assist the first half, and we schedule it late in your itinerary so you're acclimatised. The cliffside monastery is worth every step.
March–May for rhododendron blooms and clear Himalayan views, or September–November for festival season — including the spectacular Thimphu Tshechu masked dances. Winter is quiet and crisp; monsoon (June–August) is best avoided for trekking.
In their words
“From the first phone call I knew this wasn't a travel agency — it was a quiet curator. Bhutan unfolded slowly, exactly as we had hoped. Restored farmhouses, monks who'd become friends, and not a single rushed moment.”
