Important Facts About Bhutan

  1. National Dress Code: To date, Bhutan is the only country in South Asia that enforces a national dress code. Men typically wear the Gho, a knee-length robe, while women wear the Kira, a garment similar to a sari. This dress code for government workers is compulsory but optional for the general public.
  2. Matrilineal Society: Bhutan has a matrilineal family system. Usually, the daughters receive the inheritance of property, and most of the time, husbands move into their wives' family homes. In a nutshell, this custom turns women into the main holders of the property in Bhutan.
  3. Cigarette Ban: Tobacco and cigarette products are fully banned by law in Bhutan. No one is allowed to sell or produce tobacco; the law is very strict, and anyone found in possession of tobacco may even be given a court case.
  4. Late Introduction of Technology: Bhutan has the dubious honor of being the last country that adopt both TV and the internet globally. These were prohibited until 1999, as the government was trying to ensure the conservation of their cultural values.
  5. Paro Airport: The only airport in Bhutan that accepts international flights is in Paro, a narrow valley that is surrounded by very high mountains of the Himalayas. The airport is most definitely one of the most hazardous in the world. The schedule is designed for operations when the sun is up and the sky is cloudless. Only a few selected pilots who have the license to fly in this airport can make flights in and out of here.
  6. Environmental Policy: Bhutan is one of the very few places on Earth that is carbon negative. Approximately 72 percent of the country's total land mass is forested. The government has been very careful not to allow big industries as they would pollute the environment.
  7. Tourist Attractions: Bhutan tourism is popular, whose destinations/routes include the iconic Tiger's Nest Monastery and beautiful valleys like Punakha and Bumthang. Your itinerary can be long or short depending on the number of days of your stay.

April

April is probably the best month to go to Bhutan. The temperature during the day can even reach up to 20°C, besides being as low as 8°C, which makes the days really pleasant and perfect for sightseeing.

Yes, This tour is an excellent choice for first time visitors who want to take a short holiday and be immersed in the tradition, history and nature of Bhutan, in an interesting and informative way, while not being committed or tied to being in Bhutan too long! This will enable your clients to feel the influence of the spirit of Bhutan.

The trip grade for the 2 Nights 3 Days Bhutan Short Tour is overall easy, so anyone can generally do it. It includes sightseeing and hiking, for example, going to Tiger's Nest Monastery.

The journey normally commences and concludes at Paro International Airport, which is thus very convenient for travelers coming from other countries. A few travel plans would, however, still offer the option of being picked up from Kathmandu.

Druk Air and Bhutan Airlines operate direct flights to Paro International Airport, and tour operators can help you find the best fares based on your location. These two are the main carriers servicing Bhutan.

Indeed, some travel companies propose tri-country tours that feature Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan, which is a more efficient and less costly way to cover the three. This is an option for those looking to explore more of the region.

Most operators in the tour industry have the flexibility of offering you the possibility of customizing the whole itinerary according to the interests you would like to pursue. Talk to the organizer about your interests, and they will be able to help you.

Bhutan is a perfect place for a trip with a short time span, indeed, this 2-night, 3-day package captures the essence of the country in an effective way. It also provides a fast but memorable trip.

The itinerary does contain lots of group activities, but there are some opportunities to have free time during which participants can go to local markets, or even just walk around Paro or Thimphu. This will give you a more individual experience of these towns.

The highest point reached on this tour is generally 3180 meters while climbing to Tiger's Nest Temple. Thimphu's elevation is 2,320 meters above sea level.

Of course, the price may be higher; however, the package provides the opportunity of traveling luxuriously with a private car as well as staying in the best hotels of the city. You can travel comfortably and in style.
