True. Bhutan is expensive compare to Nepal and India holidays. However lets put this into perspective! Due to the fact that, Bhutanese Government has imposed an ‘all inclusive’ nightly tariff structure, for all tourist visitors, it has resulted Bhutan holidays to be expensive. From our long standing experience with Bhutan holidays, we regularly receive comments from returning visitors on how great the ‘value for money’ genuinely is. Infact, Bhutan holidays aren’t expensive as we think considering every visitor has access to a private guide, driver, private vehicle and a land package including all meals, accommodation, sightseeing, entry fees, transfers, taxes, Govt. royalties & visa fees it is indeed excellent value for money. So, to sum up, Bhutan is such a privilege to visit!
