- Bhutan ↗Sustainable Development Fee: USD 100 per adult per night for international visitors until 31 Aug 2027 (children 6–11 half rate, under 6 free); Indian nationals pay in rupees at a lower rate. Confirm the current rate on the official tourism site before booking.
- Bhutan ↗Visa: apply through the official Bhutan tourism visa system, cleared before you board; plan the trip through a licensed Bhutanese tour operator.
- Bhutan ↗Paro is Bhutan's only international airport: approaches are visual, flights run in daylight only, and cloud or wind cancels them; keep a spare day at both ends.
- Western Bhutan ↗Dochula and other passes above 3,000 m can be cold and foggy year round: pack layers and start early.
- Thimphu ↗Trashi Chhoe Dzong and temples enforce formal dress at the gate: bring long sleeves and long trousers or skirt in your day bag.
- Thimphu ↗Cars between clusters are arranged by your operator or hotel; there is no ride-hailing app to rely on, so ask before you get in whether the taxi runs a meter and agree the fare.
