Travel Tips

travelling guideline:

Entry and Exit: Bhutan and China have not established diplomatic relations, so it is impossible to apply for a visa through the embassy. Moreover, the Bhutanese government stipulates that tourist visas for Bhutan must be applied for through a Bhutanese travel agency. Even if you sign up for a tour in China, the final visa application is still completed by the Bhutanese travel agency in Thimphu. After contacting the Bhutan travel agency, confirming the itinerary and making full payment, the Bhutan travel agency can start applying for a visa. The Bhutanese travel agency handles the Bhutanese visa. Tourists only need to provide a color scan of the passport information page to the travel agency. The visa fee is USD 20 per person. When the travel agency gets the visa, it will send a scanned copy to the tourist, so be sure to print it out and carry it with you. When you arrive at Paro Airport by plane, you need to show a copy of your visa when clearing customs. The customs will formally issue a visa on the tourist's passport based on the copy.

Best time to visit:

The best time is from March to May, which is spring in Bhutan, when peach blossoms and alpine rhododendrons are in full bloom all over the mountains and plains. Or September to November, especially October to November, is the autumn in Bhutan, with high skies and clear clouds and bright sunshine.
