How many days should we pay? etc - I'd like to see the festival in September in Timphu, do you think there will be time for that? - I'm also considering hiring another tour with you, Sikkim highlights, which starts in Bagdogra (this one ends in the same place). Do you consider it possible to start the following day after the end of the first one?

The SDF charges is not included in the tour price its additional charges which is USD 100 Per Person Per Day and the Visa is USD 40 /- The Bhutan visa and SDF we can apply in behalf of you. Yes you can join the Festival in Thimphu in September. If you would like to add another tour which is Sikkim highlights, and this tour is almost same. In this tour you are entering Bhutan by road.

We are looking at your Northeastern India and Bhutan tour. We don't want to go on our own so we prefer to be with a group. At this stage we are looking at anytime in May. Have you got any confirmed booking in this month and if so which dates/ numbers? Also as there is a special level / fee to pay when we are in Bhutan, is this included in the price or paid separate and if so how much?

The Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur tour was very enjoyable and well organized. Everything went as described in the itinerary, and we had a wonderful opportunity to experience India's rich history, culture, and architecture. The hotels were clean and comfortable, the transportation was good, and the pace of the tour was well planned. The guides were knowledgeable, and communication throughout the trip was excellent. The attractions were fascinating, especially the iconic landmarks and historical sites in Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. The only area for improvement was the availability of optional activities during free time, as some were already sold out. It would be helpful if the tour company could assist with advance bookings or indicate in the itinerary which activities need to be reserved early. Overall, it was a memorable trip, and I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to discover the highlights of India.Show more

  Traveler•Written January 2024
  The trip l was asking about was the 12 day Northeast India and Bhutan tour starting in Bagdogra to Paro. I guess the 6 days we are in Bhutan, it would be a extra US $100 per day fee. My main question in my last message was that we wish to join a group in May, so which dates have you got bookings for other people we can join as we do not wish to travel on our own.
- Golden Triangle India ToursOperator•Written January 2024
  We have trips in May for the same tour which you enquire, But the problem is they request to make this tour on Private basis. The best we can offer you the same price for Private tour also which is AUD 2942 /- Per Person.
