    Andrew

    Asked on July 20th, 2023

    I would like to have 8 to 10 day trip to Bhutan starting from 14 Sept. And looking for the options, I am traveling alone, thus will need single room accommodation. also I do not see, if there visa support or visa assessment (I am from Portugal).

    Visa
    • Maebar TravelOperatorWritten July 2023

      We would process your visa online and it usually takes 6 to 7 working days. There would be a single room supplement of $20 per night. Most of our clients who fly from Europe prefer to fly from Delhi to Bhutan.
