  • L

    Lynn

    Asked on July 8th, 2026

    Could you please provide the pricing for an extra night before the tour? Additionally, could you please advise if the hikes and altitude on this tour are too demanding for the average traveler?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2026

      The stay can be extended for £300 per single room per night.

      The trip is generally suitable for the average traveller with a reasonable level of fitness. While the itinerary includes several hikes, they are considered moderate rather than highly strenuous and are designed to allow travellers to enjoy the landscapes and cultural highlights at a comfortable pace.

      As Bhutan is a mountainous country, there are sections with uphill and downhill walking, and the tour reaches higher elevations. Most travellers acclimatise without issue, although some may notice the altitude during the first few days. The CEO will pace the group appropriately and provide guidance to help travellers adjust.

      If your client is comfortable walking for a few hours on uneven terrain and managing moderate inclines, they should be well suited to this tour. If they have any pre-existing medical conditions or concerns about fitness or altitude, we would recommend they consult their healthcare provider prior to travel.

    Joy

    Asked on August 31st, 2025

    Do you provide assistance with Bhutan visa and flight booking? What would be the flight cost (round trip from Toronto YYZ) for booking Bhutan tour Sept 14-25?

    Flights / Transfers
    Visa
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025

      The Bhutan visa cost is included in the cost of the tour, and yes we assist you with the letter of invitation and the visa for Bhutan. You need to submit the form for the letter of invitation to us 35-60 days before your entry into Bhutan. We will then arrange the Bhutanese visa for you. We are not able to assist you with flights to Bhutan, and these must be booked independently.

    • J

      Joy

      Traveler•Written August 2025

      Is there enough time to get a visa since the tour is in 2 weeks?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025

      With the request process, we would need to wait until the tour can be confirmed before you can apply for the visa, which would not give you enough time to obtain the visa for Bhutan. Is there another departure date that works for you?

    • J

      Joy

      Traveler•Written August 2025

      What other dates would you offer at the same price? The tour was put on sale for these dates at a great discount that I wanted to take advantage of. If it's logistically not possible to book it so close to departure I wander why would G Adventures even put it on sale at this time.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025

      The only departure on sale currently is the Sep 14th departure! This is a last minute sale as we are getting close to this date. The departure is possible to book, but confirmation is not guaranteed, we need to request it to confirm that we have the availability! If the tour is confirmed, then you will get the tour at the sale price!

    Greg

    Asked on October 29th, 2024

    Could you please advise of distances hiked each day and difficulty rating.

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written October 2024

      The tour is rated 4 - Demanding (4 on a scale of 5). Included activities are generally several hours of physical activity most days. Travellers who are in average shape should be able to manage. Some high-altitude hikes or more strenuous activities, but accessible to most healthy travellers. Training is recommended if travellers are not already active.

  • S

    Sean

    Asked on September 1st, 2024

    We have just spoken to people who have done this trip and they said that the Visas and the amount paid to the Bhutanese government (SDF) each day is covered. Is this correct?

    Visa
    • S

      Sean

      Traveler•Written September 2024

      We are currently on a tour with G in Uzbekistan so don't always have access to the internet. I still need to know if the sustainable development fee (SDF) and Visa cost are covered in the price of the tour.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2024

      Yes, the sustainable development fee (SDF) and the Bhutanese Visa cost are covered in the price of the tour.

    Asked on June 17th, 2023

    What is the minimum altitude and maximum altitude during this whole 12 days tour? Do we need to bring altitude sickness prevention medicine? During the hikes - do we need poles and water proof hiking shoes?

      Tara

      Traveler•Written June 2023

      Is it possible to cover a section by vehicle if someone in the group is not able to trek/hike one day?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2023

      A vehicle bypass will only be offered for critical requirements, incidents, or emergencies. This should not be considered an option for opting out. If you are not capable of accomplishing the itinerary as it is, we recommend considering an alternative itinerary that would be more suitable.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2023

      We would not be able to dispense medical advice so you must speak to your doctor about this trip and they will advise you based on your medical history or conditions.

    Asked on January 26th, 2023

    Yesterday evening I was dealing with Reon as I wanted to book the Highlights of the Trans Buthan Trail of the 15th October till the 26th October as there was 1place left. I asked him how much it will be with the single supplement and the discount of €148.78 as I have booked previously with you but I did not receive any reply. I'm ready to book it if I will know how much it will be. Please can you confirm if my place was kept as I wrote to him.

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2023

      Hi Josephine, Which departure were you looking at for that price? Different dates have different pricing based on the cost of local services. It looks like September 17th is priced at €3,884 EUR (on sale until the end of January, regular price is €5,179 EUR). My Own Room is priced at €789 EUR on that date. Would you like to book the September 17th departure?

    Single supplement
