What this means when you book

Because there is no application, the only thing that can delay this trip is flights. Book the seats and the dates are yours.

A Bhutan trip runs about 2.5 hours on a direct flight from a major Indian metro. Trips start at ₹40k per person — that number includes flights from your city, stays, transport, activities and visa costs, so it is comparable to your actual budget rather than a fare you then have to build a holiday on top of.

From our planners: Tiger’s Nest is a climb. Keep the day after it light, especially with seniors.
