Asked on July 1st, 2025I am comparing different Bhutan tours for November. I am keen to see the black neck cranes, immerge into the Bhutanese culture and nature. The nature walks are important and decent hotels as well. Does the name Premium and the higher price reflect better hotels?
Intrepid PremiumOperator•Written July 2025Yes, the 'Premium' label reflects an elevated level of comfort, with stays in carefully selected, higher-end accommodations that offer enhanced service, comfort, and amenities compared to standard tours.

Traveler•Written July 2025Would appreciate clarifications about my questions. Would we be able to see the black necked cranes in the wild and join a 2 hour hike?
- Intrepid PremiumOperator•Written July 2025
On day 6 you will visit the centre of the Royal Society for Protection of Nature (RSPN) where you'll learn about the vulnerable, black-necked cranes. Wild cranes will only be visible during the winter months, but if you visit outside this period, you may still have the chance to see black-necked cranes that are being rehabilitated in the centre. In the afternoon, join your leader on a gentle 2-hour hike around the valley and learn about the flora and fauna that call this preserve home.
