Highlights of the Journey
Before you embark on your luxury journey through Bhutan, it's essential to be aware of a few key points that can help ensure a smooth, enriching, and enjoyable experience. Bhutan is a unique destination with controlled tourism policies to preserve its environment and culture. As such, all tours must be pre-arranged and accompanied by a licensed guide, making your trip with Asiana Treks and Tours not only seamless but mandatory for legal entry.
Travellers must be part of a pre-paid and pre-approved tour package, which includes accommodations, guides, transportation, meals, and government royalty fees. Independent travel without a Bhutanese tour operator or international partner (like Asiana Treks and Tours) is not permitted. Our team ensures all logistics, permits, and bookings are taken care of well in advance so that you can focus solely on enjoying Bhutan’s cultural richness and natural serenity.
All travellers require a pre-arranged tour package (independent travel is not allowed).
Asiana Treks and Tours manages all logistics, including guides, transportation, and accommodation.

Some high-altitude activities (e.g., Tiger’s Nest hike) require a moderate level of fitness.
Wi-Fi and mobile signals may be limited in remote areas.
Bhutan uses its currency (Ngultrum), but Indian Rupees are widely accepted.
Bhutan maintains a strict tourism policy based on sustainability and cultural preservation. Every traveller visiting Bhutan (except citizens of India, Bangladesh, and the Maldives) is required to obtain a Bhutanese visa before arrival. The visa process is handled exclusively by licensed Bhutanese tour operators or their international partners. Asiana Treks and Tours will facilitate this process on your behalf once your tour is confirmed.
Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry into Bhutan. After receiving your tour confirmation, Asiana Treks and Tours will submit the visa application to the Department of Immigration in Bhutan. Once approved, you'll receive a visa clearance letter, which you'll need to present at check-in before boarding your flight to Bhutan. The actual visa will be stamped into your passport upon arrival at Paro International Airport.
In addition to the visa, Bhutanese authorities also require route permits and special area permits for travel to certain regions like Punakha and Bumthang. These permits are arranged in advance by Asiana Treks and Tours and are included in your luxury package.

Bhutan experiences four distinct seasons, each offering unique scenery and experiences. However, the ideal time for a luxury tour is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These months bring pleasant weather, clear skies, and vibrant cultural festivals, making them perfect for sightseeing, hiking, and photography.
Spring showcases Bhutan's natural beauty at its finest, with hillsides bursting into bloom with rhododendrons, magnolias, and wild orchids. Autumn offers crisp air and stunning Himalayan vistas, with some of Bhutan’s most spectacular festivals like Thimphu Tshechu and Paro Tshechu taking place during this season. Luxury accommodations are at their most welcoming during these months, and cultural events are in full swing.
While summer (June to August) brings monsoon rains, it’s still a great time for wellness retreats, cultural immersions, and fewer crowds. Winter (December to February) is cold but serene, offering snow-covered landscapes and clear mountain views. With Asiana Treks and Tours, you'll enjoy specially curated seasonal experiences and comfort year-round.

Book in advance for festival dates and high-demand luxury accommodations.
Bhutan is a generally safe and clean destination, with minimal crime and excellent hygiene standards. However, like any international trip, certain health and safety guidelines should be followed to ensure a worry-free experience. All travellers should consult their physician before travel to confirm that routine vaccinations are up-to-date. While no specific shots are required, vaccinations for tetanus, hepatitis A, and typhoid are recommended.
Travellers should be aware of the altitude, especially in regions like Paro and Dochula Pass. It’s common for travellers to experience mild symptoms of altitude discomfort, such as dizziness or shortness of breath. Keeping hydrated, ascending gradually, and resting adequately can help mitigate this. Asiana Treks and Tours ensures all itineraries are paced comfortably to allow for acclimatisation.
The food in Bhutan is largely organic, but if you have dietary restrictions or food allergies, inform us in advance so we can arrange customized meals. Bottled water is provided throughout the tour. We also recommend carrying a basic travel medical kit. All vehicles used by Asiana Treks and Tours are equipped with emergency supplies, and our guides are trained in basic first aid.
Health & Safety Guidelines Checklist:
Stay hydrated and allow time to acclimatise to altitude.
Carry any personal medication, plus a small first aid kit.
Use bottled or filtered water (provided daily).
Eat at reputable or pre-arranged restaurants (included in the tour).
Inform Asiana Treks and Tours of any medical conditions or dietary needs in advance.
Avoid strenuous activity on the arrival day to adjust to the altitude.
Bhutan is deeply spiritual and conservative in its cultural values. Dressing modestly and respecting local customs is essential, especially when visiting monasteries, dzongs (fortresses), and temples. As a general rule, shoulders and knees should be covered, and hats must be removed when entering sacred spaces. Clothing should be comfortable yet respectful—ideal for both cultural visits and hiking activities.
Bhutanese people dress in their national attire, the gho for men and kira for women, especially during formal or religious occasions. While you are not expected to dress traditionally, wearing clean, modest clothing shows respect. You may also be invited to try on traditional dress for cultural immersion or photo opportunities, a service included in our tour package.
Behavioural etiquette is equally important. Always walk clockwise around religious monuments, and do not point your feet toward sacred objects. Avoid public displays of affection and seek permission before photographing people or monks. Our guides at Asiana Treks and Tours will brief you daily to ensure you interact respectfully and confidently with local communities.
Wear modest, comfortable clothing (no sleeveless tops or short skirts in temples).
Remove hats and shoes before entering religious sites.
Walk clockwise around temples and stupas.
Refrain from loud conversation or public displays of affection.
Always ask before taking photos of locals or monks.
Traditional dress is welcome and may be provided for cultural activities.
