Step 1:
We have many sample
itineraries. Look through our sample itineraries and see if one appeals to you. If you would like to customize your itinerary, let us know what your interests are, and we will design the perfect itinerary for you. Itineraries can range from a five-day glimpse of Bhutan to a 20-day strenuous trekking tour and can include a variety of activities. If you have a special request, let us know!
For most tours the booking must be completed 5-6 weeks in advance, but for tours during the festivals, booking must be completed at least 12 weeks in advance. Festivals held in the autumn and spring are peak travel time for tourists, and it can be difficult to secure accommodation and Druk Air seats without advance notice.
Step 2: Choose your arrival date and departure date, and decide which Druk Air-serviced city you will be arriving from/departing to. The only airport in Bhutan is in Paro. Druk Air services the following cities:
Paro airport is daylight restricted, and the flights are totally dependent on the weather. As a result, sometimes flights are delayed. It is therefore a good idea to keep at least 24 hours of transit time for connecting flights out of Paro. You might also want to consider traveling on a nonrestricted ticket so that if you miss a connecting flight, you can be rerouted or seated on the first available carrier.
Sometimes flights into Paro are disrupted because of unfavorable weather conditions. If this occurs, the flight will stop for the night at the transit airport. To be prepared, you may want to carry your essential personal items in your carry-on luggage.

Step 4: Once your travel dates and itinerary have been confirmed, we will provide you with a visa application. At this time, you must also submit your payment in full. A visa clearance will not be issued by the government of Bhutan until all tariff and Druk Air fees have been received.
