    Asked on August 8th, 2023

    Is the Bhutan visa included in the tour, and does the operator take care of filling for me? Also on the last day, the flight back to Kathmandu is at 7:10, is it possible to get transport to airport?

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten August 2023

      All nationalities require a visa for Bhutan. Travellers can only enter Bhutan on a group visa as part of a tour. Independent visas are not issued. The cost of the visa is included in your tour and we will issue the visa. An arrival and departure transfer is included in this tour.
