Q: Do I need a visa for Bhutan from Delhi?
A: Indian citizens do NOT need a visa for Bhutan. You only need a valid passport (minimum 6 months validity) OR a Voter ID card. An entry permit is issued free of charge at Paro airport immigration upon arrival. Our team handles all permit arrangements. For children, a valid passport or school ID is required. Non-Indian nationals require a visa which must be arranged through a licensed tour operator (we handle this for our customers). The visa clearance takes 7-10 working days and costs approximately $40 USD.
Q: What is the best time to visit Bhutan from Delhi?
A: The best time is March-May (spring) and September-November (autumn) when weather is pleasant (10-25°C) with clear skies. Spring offers blooming rhododendrons, while autumn features major festivals and crystal-clear mountain views. Winter (Dec-Feb) is budget-friendly with 30-40% lower prices but cold weather. Summer/Monsoon (Jun-Aug) has lowest prices and lush green landscapes but rainfall can affect outdoor activities. For Delhi residents, autumn is most popular due to coinciding with Diwali holidays and festivals like Thimphu Tshechu.

Q: Is travel insurance required for Bhutan tour?

However, we strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that covers trip cancellation, baggage loss, flight delays, and higher medical coverage. This is especially important if you plan trekking or adventure activities. Insurance costs approximately ₹500-1,000 per person for a week-long trip. We can assist you in purchasing appropriate insurance coverage.
