Bhutan Paro & Thimphu Trip from Mumbai
Overview
# Bhutan Paro & Thimphu Trip from Mumbai
**Bhutan** — the last remaining Vajrayana Buddhist kingdom in the world — measures its success not by GDP but by **Gross National Happiness**. This pristine Himalayan country offers a travel experience unlike any other: ancient dzongs (fortress-monasteries) perched on hillsides, prayer flags fluttering in the wind, archery as a national sport, and a government mandate that 60% of the country remains forested. The trek to **Taktsang Palphug Monastery (Tiger's Nest)** — clinging to a cliff 900 m above the Paro Valley — is one of the most iconic hikes in the world.
Based in Bhutan, this moderate 5-day trek is best attempted during April, October — when the trail and surroundings are at their most rewarding.

Things to Carry
FAQs
Do Indians need a visa for Bhutan?
Yes — Indian, Bangladeshi, and Maldivian nationals need a visa (US$40). Other nationalities require a pre-arranged visa and pay the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) of US$100/day.
How hard is the Tiger's Nest trek?
It's steep but short (4 km, 900 m elevation). Most people with basic fitness can do it in 3–4 hrs up and 2 hrs down. Horses can be hired for the lower section if needed.
What is the SDF and do I need to pay it?
The Sustainable Development Fee (US$100/day for international tourists) is part of Bhutan's "high-value, low-impact" tourism policy. Indian nationals pay a lower fee (₹1,200 per day) which is included in our package.
