What people love about touring Bhutan solo
- GOLDEN TRIANGLE OF BHUTAN - A PRIVATE TOUR
I was very pleased with the service that I received from our travel company. This was an amazing trip. Our guide was professional yet a lot of fun. The food was healthy and delicious. Thanks, MTA Team to make enjoyable trip.
Coming to Bhutan was a long time goal. I’m glad I did. I thought I was joining a small group but it turns out it was just me with Pemba as guide and Bhaia as driver. Both men very welcoming and friendly. Pemba especially went above and beyond to make it interesting and a learning experience. As a seasoned traveler I truly understand and appreciate an engaged guide. Nature is breathtaking and the monuments quite unique. Food in general is not a reason to come, it was repetitive and lacked imagination. I believe the location of the last hotel in Paro should have been closer to town, but staff in every place I stayed could not have been nicer. The travel agency was responsive and straightforward in our communications. I truly enjoyed the trip. Thanks to Pemba especially, who was with me all along.
Best of Bhutan Tour- 7 Days (A Majestic Bhutan Tour)
My time in Bhutan was lovely. My guide, Chenchu Vajra, was a font of knowledge about history, religion, language, ornithology, and on and on. He was a fun partner to hike to Tiger's Nest with. Accommodations and food were very good and the schedule was nice and flex. I feel like I got to see a lot, but also had plenty of time to venture out or rest as I felt like.

What our customers ask about Bhutan Tours for Solo Travelers
What types of accommodations can solo travelers expect on guided tours in Bhutan?
Tours in Bhutan offer a range of places to stay from modern hotels to local family homes. You'll find 3-4 star hotels as your standard accommodation with options like the upscale Taj Tashi in Thimphu. Some tours include stays with local families in places like Bumthang Valley where you can experience daily Bhutanese life. Most hotels including Zhingkham Resort in Punakha provide single rooms though this often comes with an extra cost. Past travelers speak highly of the mix "The hotels I stayed in were great and the homestay experiences allowed me to really connect with local families."
Which areas of Bhutan are most suitable for solo travelers?
The western region of Bhutan works best for solo travelers. This area includes Paro Thimphu and Punakha where you'll find good tourist facilities and regular group tours. Key sites here include Tiger's Nest Monastery and Punakha Dzong. Hotels like Tashi Namgay Resort in Paro offer reliable comfort and service. Previous guests often mention the area's accessibility: "The western circuit felt very safe and welcoming for solo travelers with plenty of other tourists and excellent guides."
How safe is Bhutan for solo travelers joining guided tours?
Bhutan stands out as one of Asia's safest travel spots. The country's low crime rates and Buddhist values that emphasize helping others make it especially secure for visitors. Licensed guides and drivers provide constant support whether you're hiking to remote temples or relaxing at Zhingkham Resort in Punakha. As one traveler put it: "As a solo female traveler I felt completely safe throughout the journey our guide was extremely protective and professional."
What is the typical single supplement cost for solo travelers in Bhutan?
Solo travelers usually pay an extra USD 100-150 for private rooms on 5-7 day tours staying at mid-range hotels like Meri Puensum Resort in Punakha or Hotel Amodhara in Thimphu. Many travelers choose to share rooms to avoid this cost. Guest feedback suggests satisfaction with shared arrangements: "the accommodations were comfortable and made me feel quite homely" when sharing at properties like Khangkhu Resort in Paro.
How much free time do solo travelers get on guided tours in Bhutan?
Tours typically give you 2-3 hours of free time each day especially in bigger towns like Paro and Thimphu. This lets you browse markets visit cafes or relax at places like Uma Paro. The schedule works well for most travelers: "The schedule had perfect balance - enough group time to bond but also freedom to explore independently or join others for optional activities."
