Know Before Your Go


Important Information

  • Flights to Bhutan: Due to Bhutan’s limited international flight options, it is advisable to book your flights early to secure your preferred travel dates. Paro International Airport serves as the primary entry point for international tourists. Direct flights to Paro are available from major cities including Delhi, Kolkata, Kathmandu, Bangkok, and Singapore.
  • Pack Wisely: In Bhutan, the weather can change, so bring layered clothing for different temperatures. Pack sturdy shoes for walking, rain gear, and sun protection. Remember to take any necessary medications and a basic first-aid kit.
  • Physical Fitness: The hike to Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang) is a moderately challenging trek involving steep ascents and uneven terrain at high altitude. To make the most of this iconic experience, it’s recommended to begin a light to moderate fitness routine—such as walking, stair climbing, or yoga—a few weeks before your trip. Being reasonably fit will help you enjoy the journey comfortably and soak in the breathtaking views along the way.
  • For easy communication on the go, consider downloading WhatsApp, as it is widely used in Bhutan. Expect limited internet access in remote areas. Let your family and friends know about possible communication gaps during your trip.
  • Transportation is provided according to the itinerary only and is not available on a disposal or point-to-point basis.
  • Tipping in Bhutan, it is optional but appreciated. A small gratuity is expected in some cases; tip generously for exceptional service. The amount can range from $2, $5, $10 per day, or more, depending on satisfaction and the quality of service received.
  • Any costs arising from natural calamities such as road blockages, political disturbances (e.g., strikes), etc., are to be borne by the client. We will not be held liable for any refunds or compensation claims resulting from these circumstances.
  • Bhutan's Sustainable Development Fee for foreign nationals from Europe, the USA, and Australia is included in the tour cost at USD 100 per night. For Indian nationals, the fee is INR 1,200 per night. Please contact us to adjust the pricing according to your nationality.

The scenery was breathtaking, and I loved learning about the local culture. Everything was so well organized, from the sightseeing to the relaxing moments in between. Our guide was fantastic—super knowledgeable and really friendly. The hotels were great, and all the transfers were smooth, so I never had to worry about a thing. I highly recommend Alkof Holidays if you're thinking of visiting Bhutan. They made the whole experience so easy and memorable!

First, I want to highlight that ALKOF HOLIDAYS truly deserves more than 5 stars!

First, I want to highlight that ALKOF HOLIDAYS truly deserves more than 5 stars!... First, I want to highlight that ALKOF HOLIDAYS truly deserves more than 5 stars! When my friend Elisabeth and I decided to take this trip, Mr. Sanjeev Kumar contacted us — and that turned out to be the best choice we could have made! He suggested different hotels, recommended excursions, and always ensured we had options that met our expectations and complete satisfaction. He customized the tour according to our wishes in the best possible way. He arranged highly competent, pleasant, friendly, and helpful guides and drivers with excellent cars. They always accepted all our ‘extra wishes,’ such as photo stops or changes in the planned schedule, and were always exactly on time. Mr. Gurvinder Singh gave us a wonderfully informative tour in Kolkata. During our days in Darjeeling, we had Mr. Amid Gurung, who was extremely caring, helpful, and always adjusted the excursions—especially those involving many steps or steep climbs—to my age (79). He supported me with great caution by holding my arm or hand whenever needed. Our driver, Mr. Binai, was the best driver you could imagine, especially considering the road conditions—landslides, rocks, roadwork, heavy traffic—but he handled everything perfectly and calmly! In Bhutan, our guide Mr. Sungay was such a pleasant companion and shared a lot about the country, its people, religion, and lifestyle. Our driver Ellis was also very kind, but Elisabeth somehow did not feel comfortable with his driving (although I did not agree!). So, we changed to Mr. Rimchen, another extremely kind, helpful, charming, pleasant, and excellent driver. We had a wonderful and very interesting trip with extraordinary views of mountains, monasteries, temples, tea estates, forests, rivers, flowers, and beautiful houses. We met unforgettable, kind people — and to top it all, we enjoyed blue skies and warm sunshine every single day! Mr. Sanjeev Kumar was always reachable whenever needed. Even when we returned to Delhi, he accompanied us to an extraordinary fabric factory that my friend wanted to visit. He arranged a car for the visit and organized a bigger vehicle for our return to the airport to accommodate all our luggage. Thanks to ALKOF HOLIDAYS, and especially to Mr. Sanjeev Kumar — who spent so much time and effort arranging our reservations, visas, and all the special extras — we look back on a wonderful trip we will never forget. We will continue to enjoy all the photos we took! We will certainly recommend ALKOF HOLIDAYS to all our friends and family who are interested in tours to Southeast Asia. Once again, my sincere thanks and best regards to Alkof Holidays! Sylvia Veronika Lukas

Alkof Holidays was a very good choice for arranging an individual journey throughout Darjeeling, Sikkim and Bhutan in November 2025. The planning via e-mail was easy and turned out to be perfect. The whole tour was professionally organized and included all important points of interest as well as our individual preferences. The guides and drivers in Darjeeling/Sikkim as well as in Bhutan were very nice, helpful and competent. Mr. Sanjeev Kumar himself was at all times very polite, kind and accommodating. Thank you! I can highly recommend Alkof Holidays!

My stay in Ladakh was especially wonderful. I would like to thank my driver/guide Sharif. It was a pleasure to travel with him. He was a very good driver, but also a very good and caring guide. If I could visit another part of Ladakh next year in July or August, I would definitely want to do so, possibly in combination with the Indian Himalayas. I would also like to thank Alkof Tours for the good organization and good follow-up of my trip. Marcel Merlo Belgium
