Do I understand this right, that this is no group tour? Because on Tourradar it is listed as a group tour.

We don't have any groups traveling to Bhutan on your given dates. Usually, smaller groups of 2 to 4 people prefer not to join other groups. However, we do receive many solo travelers, especially from the US and Europe. If you're comfortable traveling alone, you'll be accompanied by a guide and driver throughout your tour. Bhutan is a very safe country.

Is it possible for children to join this tour? What are the age requirements and costs?

There is no Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) for children below 6 years of age. For children between 6 and 12 years, the SDF is offered at a 50% discount, which comes to $50 per night. Children are welcome to join the tour, and our guides are trained to work with families and children.

We had a terrific time with Karchung and Sonam. Their attention to detail and communication was brilliant. We always knew what was going on and when. Karchung was enthusiastic at imparting information about his country and Buddhism, always checking that we understood him. Sonam was a great driver, making sure our ride was smooth and safe even though some of the roads were not. They both had a great sense of humour. The country was beautiful and the many temples and monasteries interesting. The highlight being a glorious day to hike to the Tiger's Nest Monastery complete with flowering rhododendrons.Show more

  Can my children (5 years and 8 years old) share rooms with adults to reduce costs?
- Maebar TravelOperator•Written September 2025
  According to government policy, Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) of $50 per day applies to children aged 6 to 12. I can reduce $60 from the $750 tour cost if children share a bed and do not require an extra bed.

  Traveler•Written September 2025
  Can we see the Paro Tshechu festival during our tour? What are the festival dates?
- Maebar TravelOperator•Written September 2025
  The Paro Tsechu Festival will take place from 29th March to 2nd April, so you'll be able to witness the festival on 30th March. A child under 6 years will be exempted from the Sustainable Development Fee and will only be charged USD 165 to cover meals for 6 nights.
