Is that enough time to have a visa issued? Do you get the visa? If no one is booked on Oct, is there another date that has others taking the tour? I do not want to do this tour as a solo person.

As of now we don't have booking as per your preferred date and tour. Oct 9 may not be possible to organize your trip during this high season. Anyway, we will check and send all the details and possibility later by evening.

Can you provide information on booking flights to Paro? Would that be added to the booking on the Tour Radar platform? Does it need to be done at the time of booking, or can it be added in the future once he firms up his travel plans to the region?

We are happy to book the flight for your client to and from Paro. Send us the full name of the passenger, travel dates and from which city the passenger will fly into Bhutan. We will make a non-binding flight reservation to hold the seats. Airfare is not part of the tour cost and has to be paid by bank transfer after trip confirmation.

Do you offer group tours of 14 days with other international travellers? Departure in september or october.

We can run the tour on a private basis without extra charges even if your client is alone. We cannot guarantee other travelers booking for the same dates.

One of the best tour operators I've ever worked with! From the moment I reached out, communication was incredibly easy and adaptive to my needs. I booked on very short notice, and Bhutan Acorn was able to help me through the process and give me multiple options that fit what I wanted (the itinerary doesn't have to be fixed - just tell them what you're interested in and they'll make it happen!). On the ground, my guide Sonam and driver Jigme were incredible, providing answers to all my questions, adjusting the trip to fit my wants each day, and being great travel companions. The trip itself covered tons of cultural locations and had beautiful hikes nearly every day, which is exactly what I wanted. I chose to take things relatively slow so that I could soak up each location and not feel like we were running from place to place, which I think is the best way to do Bhutan if you have the time. Additionally, since almost everything is included (besides admission fees and tips), I rarely had to think about money throughout the trip, which allowed me to focus on my experience and the beauty of where I was. Overall, absolutely incredible trip, and couldn't recommend booking with Bhutan Acorn enough! If I'm lucky enough to make it back, absolutely will use them againShow more
