Important Instructions
Here are some important instructions to keep in mind when traveling to the Indian subcontinent:
- Visa Requirements: All foreign travelers (except Indian, Bangladeshi, and Maldivian citizens) must obtain a Bhutan visa before arrival. The visa is processed through an authorized Bhutanese tour operator and requires advance booking.
- Health Precautions: No specific vaccinations are required for Bhutan, but it’s recommended to be vaccinated against typhoid, hepatitis A/B, and tetanus. The high altitude in some areas may cause altitude sickness, so acclimatization is advised.
- Currency: The official currency is the Bhutanese Ngultrum (BTN), but Indian Rupees (INR) are widely accepted. ATMs are available in major cities like Thimphu and Paro, but international cards may not work everywhere, so carry cash.
- Weather: Bhutan experiences four distinct seasons, with spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) being the best times to visit. Winters (December-February) can be very cold, while monsoons (June-August) bring heavy rainfall.
- Cultural Sensitivity: Respect local customs by wearing modest attire, especially when visiting monasteries and dzongs. Long sleeves, full-length pants, and covered shoulders are recommended. Always remove shoes before entering religious sites.
- Safety: Bhutan is one of the safest travel destinations, but respecting local etiquette is essential. Always walk clockwise around stupas and prayer wheels, and avoid touching sacred objects or pointing your feet at religious statues.
- Transportation: Bhutan has no railways; travel is primarily by road. Be prepared for winding mountain roads, which may cause motion sickness. Private vehicles with experienced drivers are recommended for comfort.
- Sustainable Travel & Environment: Bhutan follows a “High-Value, Low-Impact” tourism policy. Plastic bans are enforced, and littering is strictly prohibited. Respect nature by minimizing waste and supporting eco-friendly practices.
- Emergency Numbers: Save important contacts like the nearest hospital, your travel agency, and the Bhutanese police (113). Having a local guide ensures quick assistance in case of any emergency.
