"Lhayul organized our 8-day Bhutan trip with surgical precision. From our private guide who explained Mahayana Buddhism so poetically to the magical climb to Tiger's Nest, it was truly the journey of a lifetime."

"As Indian travelers, we were unsure about the ₹1,200/day SDF and entry permits. Lhayul handled our permits in 48 hours, met us at Phuentsholing border, and curated pure veg meals with flawless royal hospitality."

Frequently Asked Questions

Indian citizens do not require a visa to visit Bhutan; instead, an official Entry Permit is issued. You can travel with either a valid Indian Passport (minimum 6 months validity) or an original Election Commission Voter ID Card. Children below 18 can enter with an original Birth Certificate or passport. Lhayul handles all permit clearances online in under 48 hours.

The Royal Government of Bhutan levies a daily Sustainable Development Fee (SDF). Regional travelers from India enjoy a concessional rate of ₹1,200 INR per adult per night (₹600 for children 6–12; children under 5 are exempt). International travelers pay $100 USD per night. This royalty directly funds free healthcare, education, and carbon-negative environmental conservation across Bhutan.

Yes! The Bhutanese Ngultrum (Nu) is pegged at 1:1 direct parity with the Indian Rupee (₹1 INR = Nu 1). Indian currency notes (₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100, and ₹500) are accepted everywhere, as are digital UPI and debit/credit cards across major hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers.

Yes, absolutely. Bhutanese cuisine features fresh organic vegetables, mushrooms, homemade cheese, and dal. Lhayul arranges pure vegetarian and Jain meals (prepared without onion or garlic upon advance notice) throughout your journey across Thimphu, Paro, Punakha, and Phuentsholing.

The hike to Paro Taktsang takes 4 to 5 hours round trip along scenic pine-scented mountain trails. For travelers wanting an easier climb, traditional mountain ponies can be hired up to the midway cafeteria viewpoint. Your private Lhayul guide paces the trek comfortably to match your family's fitness level.

Because Lhayul is headquartered right at the Indo-Bhutan border in Phuentsholing, our private chauffeur meets you at Bagdogra Airport (IXB), Hasimara Rail Station (30 mins from border), or New Jalpaiguri (NJP), escorting you smoothly through the Jaigaon-Phuentsholing pedestrian terminal with express permit clearance.
