Do I understand this right, that this is no group tour? Because on Tourradar it is listed as a group tour.

We don't have any groups traveling to Bhutan on your given dates. Usually, smaller groups of 2 to 4 people prefer not to join other groups. However, we do receive many solo travelers, especially from the US and Europe. If you're comfortable traveling alone, you'll be accompanied by a guide and driver throughout your tour. Bhutan is a very safe country.

Is it possible for children to join this tour? What are the age requirements and costs?

There is no Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) for children below 6 years of age. For children between 6 and 12 years, the SDF is offered at a 50% discount, which comes to $50 per night. Children are welcome to join the tour, and our guides are trained to work with families and children.

  Can my children (5 years and 8 years old) share rooms with adults to reduce costs?
- Maebar TravelOperator•Written September 2025
  According to government policy, Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) of $50 per day applies to children aged 6 to 12. I can reduce $60 from the $750 tour cost if children share a bed and do not require an extra bed.

  Traveler•Written September 2025
  Can we see the Paro Tshechu festival during our tour? What are the festival dates?
- Maebar TravelOperator•Written September 2025
  The Paro Tsechu Festival will take place from 29th March to 2nd April, so you'll be able to witness the festival on 30th March. A child under 6 years will be exempted from the Sustainable Development Fee and will only be charged USD 165 to cover meals for 6 nights.
