Can you please advise if there's any other traveller booked for this trip? Can you please, if you can provide any assistance with the transfer from Bangkok to Paro? Can you please advise the quote for pre-accommodation for 1 or 2 days prior?

We have one confirmed booking on this adventure by one gentleman from the UK. October is the high season especially during the festival. Please check the availability of flights and book it online. There are only 2 airlines that connect Bhutan with the outside world: Drukair and Bhutan Airlines.

Would it be possible to arrange this?

Who would I get from Paro to Darjeeling overland? What would be the timing and approx. cost?

The Bhutan Jomolhari Mountain Festival & Trekking Adventure was next level fantastic. Our guide, Lobzang, and the crew truly made this experience! Bhutan Acorn set the highest standard on its staff and it made all the difference. The genuine (but not sticky) hospitality and attention to the smallest details for every member of our group defined their goal and our experience. While out of their control, but still incredible, the Jomolhari Festival is something truly special. I felt honored to be a guest at this celebration! Cozy tents, the absolute most amazing food, and did I mention the staff?! This is definitively a five star experience!Show more
