      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Nancy

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      1. Could you please give us details as to how to apply? Is is difficult to get? 2. Leaving Paro, I have checked: the flight is available on Fridays from Paro to Dhaka, which is our destination. Is it difficult or easy to book the flight from Paro to Dhaka?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      G Adventures will arrange the visa for you. The cost of the visa is included in the tour price. The Bhutanese visa is issued to your passport on arrival. No passport photos are currently required for this. We cannot book flights to and from Bhutan so you will need to research this.
