FAQs
Frequently asked questions answered by our experts
Bhutan travel is not something you plan on a whim. This is a destination that asks something of you – your attention, your curiosity, your willingness to slow down and be moved. Tucked between India and Tibet in the eastern Himalayas, the Kingdom of Bhutan has long maintained a deliberate distance from the outside world, and therein lies its extraordinary appeal. Fortresses draped in prayer flags. Ancient dzongs rising above river valleys. Monks in crimson robes, rhythms unchanged for centuries.
At Indian Odyssey, our tailor-made Bhutan holidays are built around one guiding belief: that the finest Bhutan tours are deeply personal. Whether you are drawn by the monasteries, the trekking, the festivals, or simply the desire to stand somewhere the modern world has not yet reached, we design every journey around you. No group coaches. No fixed departure dates. No compromises on the moments that matter.
With over 18 years of specialist knowledge and long-standing relationships throughout the kingdom, we offer a level of access – and a level of experience – that generic operators simply cannot match. This is what genuine Bhutan travel looks like, created by people who have walked these paths themselves.

Frequently asked questions answered by our experts
How do we get to the country? Is there a direct flight?
You would either be flying via Delhi, Kathmandu, Calcutta or Bangkok. There are no direct flights possible to Paro. This makes it appealing to consider a multi-country holiday. All of our Bhutan tours can be tailored to suit your preferences.
What kind of accommodation is available for travellers?
A standard tour to Bhutan will include good quality bed and breakfast style accommodation (3 star) and a luxury tour would include top end luxury hotels for stay.
Do I need any vaccinations?
Specialised travel-medicine clinics or your GP are your best source of up-to-date information. They will recommend the requirement for any vaccinations which may be required. Another good source of information is the NHS travel medicine website fitfortravel.nhs.uk. The key for travel vaccinations is to plan early. Most vaccines don’t give immunity until at least two weeks after they’re given and vaccines like diphtheria and tuberculosis require a three-month incubation, so visit your GP well before departure. Ask your GP or travel clinic for an International Certificate of Vaccination (sometimes known as the ‘yellow booklet’), which will list all the vaccinations you’ve received.
Do I need a visa for my Bhutan holiday?
All travellers require a visa to travel to Bhutan which is arranged by us prior to your arrival in Paro. Our tours include any applicable visa arrangement fee.
