Booking your trip, step by step

A deposit of 20% of the land cost (plus airfare, if we book your flights) confirms your journey. The balance is due 60 days before departure.

Visa and pre-departure pack
Send your passport scan, photo and insurance; we apply for your visa and send your e-visa, itinerary and travel notes before you fly.
How to pay
Most of our guests pay by Wise, which is quick and has low transfer fees. An international bank (wire) transfer to our account in Bhutan works too. We share our bank details once your trip is confirmed and you're ready to pay; please email us a copy of the transfer slip. For customised and last-minute journeys, the payment schedule may vary.
When to book
Book at least three months ahead for spring and autumn. Flights into Paro and the best hotels fill quickly, especially around the Paro and Thimphu festivals. Urgent trips can sometimes be arranged in a couple of weeks.
