There is no limit on the number of tourists admitted into the country each year. In order to protect our culture, traditions and natural environment the government has adopted a strict policy of “High Value, Low Impact Tourism”. This policy is aimed at attracting discerning tourists that will respect the unique culture and values of the Bhutanese people while also providing the visitors with an unforgettable one of a kind experience.

Once booked with our travel company, that are cancelled are subject to the following cancellation charges:

i. Earlier than 30 days before the start of the tour programmed: no charge
ii. Between 30 and 21 days before the start: 10% of the rates
iii. Between 21 and 14 days before the start: 15% of the rates
iv. Between 14 and 7 days before the start: 30% of the rates
v. Less than 7 days before the start or cancellation without notice: 50% of the rates
vi. After arrival in Bhutan: 100% of the rates.
If you cancel your tour after you have sent payment then we will process your refund in accordance with the above list of charges. To return funds to you from Bhutan we have to request permission from the Royal Monetary Authority to send foreign currency outside Bhutan. Once we have this we have to ask the Tourism Council of Bhutan to return the funds to you, as they are still holding them at that point since your tour has not yet run. This process of arranging the refund can take some time - at busy periods even 6 to 8 weeks.

Please note also that when your currency arrives in Bhutan it is booked to Dhir Gue Tashi Gha Khil tour and travel in local currency at the then prevailing rate of exchange. When we come to return funds to you the cost of the refund will be booked to us again at the then prevailing rate of exchange. If there has been significant fluctuation in exchange rates between the date when funds were received in Bhutan and the date the payment is refunded we reserve the right to return no more than the then current US$ equivalent of the amount originally received by us in local currency, to avoid incurring a loss as a result of currency fluctuation when returning your funds for the cancelled trip.

We advise you take out insurance to cover the risk of having to cancel your trip for medical or other reasons - every year we have two or three groups who end up having to cancel after they have already paid for their trips, sometimes as little as a day or so before they fly, and it is an expensive venture if you don't have insurance to cover the costs incurred.

Once tickets have been issued, date changes can be made up to 7 days beforehand on payment of a US$10 administration charge. There is no charge for date changes in business class. Rerouting of full fare tickets is permitted once, but the ticket will then be stamped non-reroutable and non-refundable. Route changes to a sector with a lower airfare attract a US$25 administration fee. No fee applies to route changes to a sector with a higher fare.
