Paro Tour Packages

Visa and entry

Entry rules for Indian passport holders change, including visa-free, visa-on-arrival and e-visa schemes, so confirm the current rules on the official government or embassy website for Bhutan before booking flights. Most countries require a passport valid for at least six months beyond your return date. We check the current requirements when we prepare your quote; we cannot guarantee visa approval.

Health and safety

Buy travel insurance that covers medical treatment and evacuation; healthcare abroad can be expensive. Carry prescription medicines in their original packaging with a copy of the prescription. Some places here are at high altitude: rest on arrival, drink plenty of water and ascend gradually. For current safety advice, check the travel advisories published by the Government of India and the embassy in Bhutan.

Currency and tipping

The currency is the Bhutanese ngultrum (BTN), pegged to the Indian rupee. Not compulsory; guides and drivers are commonly tipped at the end of a tour.

Best time to visit

March to May and September to November. Clear and festive; the Paro Tshechu is in spring.

Getting around

Fly into Paro or drive in through Phuentsholing. All travel within Bhutan is with a licensed guide and vehicle.

Local etiquette

• Dress modestly at temples, churches and mosques, and remove footwear where asked.
• Ask before photographing people, and follow photography rules at religious sites and museums.
• The Tiger's Nest hike takes 4–6 hours round trip; go early and wear good shoes.

What to pack

Pack warm layers, a down jacket and gloves, modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees for religious sites and comfortable walking shoes.

Phone and internet

Indian mobile operators sell international roaming packs, or you can buy a local SIM or eSIM on arrival with your passport. Check that your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM before you travel.

Budget

We don't publish fixed prices because the season, hotel category, flights and group size change the cost. Your written quote lists exactly what is included, so you can compare like for like.
