Essential Tips for Traveling to Bhutan:

Consider Peak and Non-Peak Seasons
The peak seasons (March to May and September to November) attract larger crowds. Booking early (at least 3 months in advance) is crucial during these months. Non-peak periods offer a quieter experience with fewer tourists and potential cost savings.
Understand the Cost Differences
Prices for accommodations can vary greatly, with peak season rates reaching up to 50% higher than during off-peak times. Planning your visit during non-peak months can lead to significant savings and a more intimate experience with the local culture.
Group Size Matters
Single travelers or couples may face surcharges due to the fixed costs of guides and transport. Traveling with a larger group can help distribute these costs, making it more economical.
