I would like to know if all trekkings are available and which kind of hôtels do you réservé as I am no willing to stay in low cost hôtels.

All of the accommodations we provide are 3-star hotels certified by the Department of Tourism and selected based on the positive experience and feedbacks from our past clients. We will never keep our guests at cheap and unverified and uncertified hotels & homestays or farm stays. We always inform our guests where they will stay at each destination before their arrival. You can also choose to stay your last night at homestays/farmhouses with the local family for a unique experience. You will have the unique opportunity to spend time with a local family and learn how to prepare some of Bhutan's popular dishes.

I'm interested in this tour but flight tickets could increase a lot in a short time so I'm worried about having them increase while waiting for confirmation. How much time is needed for confirmation?

We need about 7 working days to process your visas and get it approved. If the flight seats are available on your preferred dates of travel, you may purchase the tickets and book the tour. We will ensure to get your visas within 7 working days.

Is it possible to get flights from JFK (or any area New York City airport) to Paro and back for a June 9 - June 17th tour? If the tour begins on June 9th, should we book a flight that arrives by June 8th or June 9th? If the tour is completed on June 17th, should we book a flight out of Paro for June 17th or June 18th?

You must arrive in Bhutan on the tour start date and depart on the tour end date. This is because the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) of US$100 per night per person is charged based on the exact number of nights spent in Bhutan.

Can we experience a homestay during the tour?

Yes, we can arrange homestays where you can enjoy local cuisine and culture.

What is the best way to book our flights to Bhutan?

You can book the flights yourself, or we can assist with flight reservations if needed.

Can you tell me when the tour starts and ends so I can book my flights? Can you tell me the name of the accommodations?

The tour start time will depend on your flight arrival time. If you arrive in the afternoon leaving you with little time to do sightseeing, we will adjust the itinerary and ensure that you all the sites and activities are covered. Regarding the tour end time, it will end in the evening of the day before your flight out of Bhutan (Paro). For this 7-day trip starting on 1st November and ending on 7th November, the tour will end in the evening of 6th November. The guide and the driver will drop you off at the airport in the morning of 7th November. If your departure time is in the afternoon, we are happy to offer you a complimentary sightseeing in the morning before transferring to the airport. Below are the 3-star accommodations where you will stay: Night 1 & 2: Hotel Amodhara or Pelyang Boutique. Night 3: Meri Puensum Resort or Lala Homestay. Night 4: Phuntsho Yangkhil Resort or Phobjikha Resort. Night 5 & 6: Mandala Resort or Shomo Chuki Resort.

Is travel insurance required for this tour?

While travel insurance is advisable, any basic travel insurance that covers your trip will suffice.

What is the currency in Bhutan? What do you advise for amount to have in hand? Where is best to obtain the currency?

How about cellular service and data? I will use Verizon service on iPhone.

How should we pay the extra entrance fees?

The extra entrance fee can be paid in cash upon arrival to our guide.

Is it necessary to book flights before securing the tour?

Yes, we recommend securing your flights as March & April are busy months with high demand.

I truly could not recommend this trip enough- it was one of the best weeks of my life! I have always dreamed of going to Bhutan, but it totally exceeded my expectations... the food, the people, the jaw-dropping views on every corner, the peaceful atmosphere, the spirituality... it was perfect! My guide (Tashi) and driver (Gyeltshen) were so kind and accommodating and I felt so safe and cared for with them (especially as a solo female traveller). Tashi was so knowledgable, interesting and supportive, really considering my needs and interests throughout the trip (by the end of the trip, I really felt like I was travelling with a friend, not just a guide), and Gyeltshen was fantastic at driving on some of the crazy mountain roads! The whole trip ran with complete ease, with a spectacular itinerary allowing for hikes, culture, history , eating and shopping. The hotels were all lovely, with beautiful views, yummy food and amazing staff. Bhutan is an incredibly special place, and this wonderful tour really allowed me to enjoy it to the fullest!Show more

The tour was amazing, we get to experience the best of Bhutan (festival, nature, temples, culture, and food) and our tour guide and driver made the trip even more wonderful with their care and knowledge. The arrangement of the trip was perfect, we had sufficient time at each spot to fully enjoy and we still feel like we have a really fulfilling itinerary with the amount of places we get to visit. All the hotels, and even the home stay, are cozy, comfortable, and with great hospitality and very good food. 10/10 would recommend to book this tour, and winter (though low season) is a really good time to visit!Show more

I had an incredible experience traveling through Bhutan with Bhutan Acorn Tours. Karma was exceptionally responsive, accommodating my requests to customize the itinerary, hotels, and meals before my arrival. Everything went smoothly and exactly as planned once I got there. The highlight of the tour was connecting with my guide, Kezang, and her sister, Tashi, who was also my driver. They were both so kind and dedicated, working hard to create a truly memorable experience. Their warmth and effort solidified my belief that Bhutan is a place I’ll return to again and again. Forever grateful.Show more

I’ve just completed this tour and it is amazing. First the accommodation was great and being off season I had few privileges (great views in all the hotel I’ve stayed), no other tourists or waiting times or crowded around. If you are lucky to get Nidu and Norbu for your tour you are in for a treat and unforgettable time Second, the nature is just breathtaking and the temples are just as mesmerising. Grated you have to hike to get to some of them but it’s worth every drop of sweat. Lastly the people in Bhutan are so welcoming and friendly. The hospitality is on another level. If you think visiting Bhutan, just do it you won’t regret it.Show more

We just completed an 8 day tour of western Bhutan, with a 3 day trek to the Sagala Pass and Chelela Pass. Bhutan is a beautiful country and exceeded all my expectations. Bhutan Acorn T&T were fantastic! In the planning stage they were very responsive and understanding of our several requests for change to the itinerary. They were very organised and efficient in arranging the visas, government fees and flights to Bhutan. Our guide (Norbu) and driver (Thinley) were also fantastic and went above and beyond in looking after us. They were both very kind and helpful and their knowledge of Bhutanese history, Buddhist practice and local flora and fauna were exceptional. I would not hesitate in using Bhutan Acorn T&T again.Show more

Firstly, just to clarify, I came to Bhutan mainly to see the great outdoors, the architecture and to get a feel of it's history. I had no great interest in the spiritual, mystical, religious or cultural aspects of the country, including it's art and crafts. I certainly had no interest in shopping or souvenirs. Due to the above I skipped most of the items in the tour related to arts, crafts and shopping so cannot comment on them. I booked a group tour and paid a single supplement only to find on arrival that I was the only person on the tour. The company communicated very well and was quick and responsive to my queries. When you compare Bhutan trips on Tour Radar be sure to note if the tour includes entrance fees and the US$100 charge to endure you compare like with like when looking at the cost. This tour didn't include the fees but was still very competitive in pricing. The tour was well run and the guide Tashi Sonam and the driver Tandin were terrific. I must mention that I was very unimpressed with the fact that I could not do the Dochula to Lumitsawa hike that was included in the itinerary as according to Tashi the track is currently unusable. If this is the case then do not put it as an option in the itinerary - it's false advertising. This hike was actually one of the reasons I chose this trip. The hotels were of a good standard with comfortable facilities but all were located well out of town centres so at night there wasn't much option but to sit and read or watch streamed TV. The idea was to avoid noise which was laudable, except for the fact that the biggest noise pollution in Bhutan is barking dogs at night and they were a problem at every hotel. One hotel in particular the Dewachen Hotel was an absolute nightmare with supposedly stray dogs living on the property and barking incredibly loudly directly outside my bedroom window from 9 PM until dawn. I have industrial strength earplugs but level of noise and it's proximity defeated them. I was a wreck the next day and the hotel manager refused to take any responsibility or do anything about the problem. I managed to get food poisoning on the last day so never got to climb to the Tigers Nest but ended up spending a large part of the day in hospital. It was at this stage that the guide and driver, Tashi and Tandin came to the fore. They took me to the hospital and then stayed with me for the rest of the day until I was safe and sound back at the hotel. Absolutely great service guys! My overall impression of Bhutan was that while the scenery, hikes, walks and sites are interesting and pleasant they didn't really grab me in any great way like other countries in the region such as Nepal did. The problem of course is that given the above, when you take into account the huge daily fees and expensive airfares charged by the government then that erodes the value for money equation to such an extent that I wouldn't go back.Show more

Dear Roger, First and foremost, we want to express our sincere gratitude for choosing TourRadar and Bhutan Acorn Tours & Travel to organize your recent trip to Bhutan. We truly appreciate the opportunity to have served you. I must also thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. Your feedback serves as a valuable reminder for us to continually improve our services. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment caused by the misinformation regarding the Dochula to Lumitsawa hike. I will be honest here. The hiking trail is very much in use, contrary to what was communicated to you by our guide, Mr. Tashi Sonam. Such miscommunication from any of our guide is unacceptable. We have thoroughly investigated the matter and appropriate measures have been taken to address it. I would like to clarify that Dochula to Lumitsawa hiking adventure was presented to you as an optional activity only after you booked the tour. We prioritize integrity and transparency in all aspects of our offerings. We never intend to mislead or falsely advertise any aspect of our tours. The trust and satisfaction of our valued customers are of utmost importance to us, and we are committed to maintaining honesty and openness at the core of our business practices.

I enjoyed the trip a lot. My guide Tshering Dema and driver Nidup Wangchuk were really friendly and inspiring. I learned a lot from them, not only the culture of Bhutan but also about life. They were knowledgeable and were there for me to ensure that I was comfortable throughout the trip. Not to mention about the breathtaking views in Bhutan and the lovely people I met there. Bhutanese are warm and friendly and I love to meet people from all walks of life. I wouldn't have such a great experience without my lovely guide and driver and I'm glad I've chose Bhutan Acorn Tours. Thank you!Show more

  You will not miss any sightseeing even if you arrive at 2 PM or 3 PM because we will adjust the itinerary and make sure that all the activities are covered.

- Bhutan Acorn Tours & TravelOperator•Written January 2025
  The Bhutanese currency is known as Ngultrum/Nu. You may bring USD and have it exchanged to local currency at the airport or outside the airport. Our guide can help you get it exchanged. You can also withdraw local currency from ATMs using your credit/debit cards but there will be a fee of Nu.300 for every transaction.
- Bhutan Acorn Tours & TravelOperator•Written January 2025
  There is no roaming service for Verizon users in Bhutan. If your iPhone is unlocked, you can install tourist SIM card on arrival. You can also install tourist e-SIM card. For a tourist card with a validity of 1 month, 1 GB data and Nu.100 talktime, it will cost Nu.200. Our guide can help to topup more data if you require.

  Usually, it takes 4-5 hours for a round-trip hike to Tiger's Nest for most visitors. Some take much longer and some take longer depending on their fitness level.
- Bhutan Acorn Tours & TravelOperator•Written January 2025
  April is the peak season as so hotels and flights tend to get booked out well in advance. I recommend you check the flight availability and book it online.
- Bhutan Acorn Tours & TravelOperator•Written January 2025
  The published price for a solo traveler is USD 1,625, with a 20% deposit required at the time of booking. The remaining 80% balance must be paid 60 days prior to the tour start date. The local payment of USD 600 is to be paid in cash upon arrival. This fee is known as the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF), sometimes called as the Government Fee. The fee is USD 100 per night per person, so for the duration of 6 nights, it is USD 600 per person.
