What people love about touring Bhutan solo
- 9 Days Authentic Bhutan Tour By Local Guides
We had an amazing 8 nights in Bhutan with Bhutan Acorn. Everything was perfect. Bhutan is simply unforgettable. Bhutan Acorn attended to our needs thoughtfully and responded super swiftly to our enquiries and requests. Every booking and confirmation were made at ease. Karma from Bhutan Acorn brought us a gorgeous pair of Gho and Kira and we were so glad and wore them for the entire trip. In the midst of the trip, Karma checked in with us to see if everything's in order, a nice touch. After they knew we wore the same Gho and Kira for the past 4 days, Karma immediately arranged a second pair for us and even asked for our colour preference. We were very delighted for this arrangement. It was our choice to wear this beautiful traditional costume throughout the trip and we hope to blend in and experience being a Bhutanese. Our guide and driver wore it the entire trip even to Tiger Nest Temple, so we believe we can do it, too. Knowing that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, Karma amazingly arranged a tasty cake and a bottle of Bhutanese wine during our stay in Thimphu. Amazing. Our guide and driver, Tashi and Sonam, made a perfect quartet with us. Tashi is super fun, knowledgeable and attends to our change of plans swiftly and thoughtfully. Sonam is a reliable driver. We asked loads of questions in understanding Buddhism, Bhutan and the secret of their Gross National Happiness. We were mind-blown by the beauty of Bhutan, not just by the clean air, pristine scenery and gorgeous, exquisitely decorated and historic temples and dzongs, but most importantly, the beautiful and genuine people in Bhutan. We love everything in Bhutan. Thanks Bhutan Acorn!
What an amazing way to see Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur! Our driver, Jai, was hysterical and got us safely to each destination. He's awesome. The guides we picked up were super knowledgeable and took care of everything, leaving us worry free and able to fully enjoy discovering India's rich history. I highly recommend this tour!

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."
