Is that enough time to have a visa issued? Do you get the visa? If no one is booked on Oct, is there another date that has others taking the tour? I do not want to do this tour as a solo person.

As of now we don't have booking as per your preferred date and tour. Oct 9 may not be possible to organize your trip during this high season. Anyway, we will check and send all the details and possibility later by evening.

Can you provide information on booking flights to Paro? Would that be added to the booking on the Tour Radar platform? Does it need to be done at the time of booking, or can it be added in the future once he firms up his travel plans to the region?

We are happy to book the flight for your client to and from Paro. Send us the full name of the passenger, travel dates and from which city the passenger will fly into Bhutan. We will make a non-binding flight reservation to hold the seats. Airfare is not part of the tour cost and has to be paid by bank transfer after trip confirmation.

Do you offer group tours of 14 days with other international travellers? Departure in september or october.

We can run the tour on a private basis without extra charges even if your client is alone. We cannot guarantee other travelers booking for the same dates.

I highly recommend this travel agency and guides. I was due to travel in May but due to an injury had to reschedule, Mr Karma changed our visas, flights and tour dates promptly and efficiently. Then when we were due to take up our tour political unrest made it I unadvisable to travel through Kathmandu, he once again changed our visas, flights and tour dates at short notice. Our iterneary and guide and driver were excellent. Our guide Norbu was very knowledgeable and our driver Nidup drove us safely around the Kingdom. Their humour and deeply caring nature's made our trip very enjoyable. If you are considering a trip to Bhutan I would not look past this company. Thank you very much for your care and support.

Trustworthy, amazing, tour group that arranged everything we wanted. Our guide, Sonam, was amazing. Our driver was so excellent and careful driver. They shared so much of their culture, knowledge and country with us. Thank you. Unforgettable trip for us from the U.S. to Bhutan!

Our six-day tour of Bhutan was nothing short of magical, thanks to our incredible guide Norbu and our skilled driver Nidup. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of — every detail was thoughtfully planned, and the warmth and hospitality we received made us feel right at home. Norbu was the heart of the trip. His deep knowledge of Bhutanese culture, history, and traditions brought every site to life. Whether we were exploring ancient monasteries, trekking to the breathtaking Tiger’s Nest, or visiting peaceful villages, Norbu’s stories and insights added layers of meaning and made every moment special. He was patient, engaging, and genuinely passionate about sharing his beautiful country with us. Nidup was an absolute professional behind the wheel — navigating the winding mountain roads with skill and confidence. We always felt safe, and his friendly nature and quiet humor added to the overall positive energy of the trip. Bhutan itself is an incredible destination, but it was Norbu and Nidup who made it unforgettable. If you’re considering a tour of Bhutan, I can’t recommend this team highly enough. Five stars all the way! 🌟
