Frequently Asked Questions

  • How challenging is the Tiger’s Nest Monastery hike?

    The trail to Tiger's Nest Monastery is steep and climbs to a high altitude of 3,120 metres, making the trip moderately difficult. It begins at 2,600 metres. There are some steep parts and stone steps on the 6.5 km (round trip) trail. The breathtaking views of the Paro Valley and the monastery situated on the cliff make it worthwhile, even though it does demand a fair level of fitness. Horses are provided for a portion of the trek for individuals who find it challenging, which is optional and will cost extra add ons.

  • Do I need a visa to visit Bhutan?

    Yes, all foreigners need a visa to visit Bhutan. As part of the tour package, we will provide you with the necessary visa permit. The visa is issued on arrival, and we will handle all the arrangements to ensure a smooth process for you.

  • Are there any option for adventure activities?

    Indeed, during your tour to Bhutan, you can partake in optional adventure activities. A pleasant ride across the valley is provided by the picturesque bicycle path that runs from Kuensel Phodrang to Changangkha in Thimphu. A traditional hot stone bath is another option; this is a well-liked and soothing pastime in Bhutan. For those seeking a longer journey, there is also the Haa Valley excursion. This trail passes through the peaceful and lesser-known Haa Valley, which is home to ancient temples including Lhakhang Karpo (the White Temple) and Lhakhang Nagpo (the Black Temple). The breathtaking views of Jichu Drakey and Mount Chomolhari are available from the 3,988-metre-high Chele-la Pass, which is part of the route to Haa Valley.
