The Royal Heart of Bhutan – 4 Nights 5 Days Tour

5/5 from 22 reviews

To make the most of your 4 nights 5 days Bhutan tour, please take note of the following essential details and travel reminders. These will help you prepare better and ensure a seamless experience from arrival to departure.

Travel Documents:

All travelers must carry a valid passport with a minimum of 6 months validity from the date of travel. A digital passport-size photo is required for the Bhutan visa process. Visa assistance and permit arrangements will be managed by Shepherd Holidays.

Tour Timing & Pacing:

This itinerary is well-paced but includes a few long driving days and a moderate-level hike (Tiger’s Nest). We recommend being punctual for daily departures to stay on schedule and enjoy all planned visits.

Tiger’s Nest Hike Readiness:

The hike to Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest) takes 4–5 hours round trip. It involves steady climbing and uneven terrain. Comfortable hiking shoes, sunblock, walking sticks (optional), and water bottles are recommended. Horses can be hired locally if needed.

Packing Essentials:

Pack light but smart. Include layered clothing, as temperatures can vary. Don’t forget a light rain jacket, comfortable shoes, a hat, sunglasses, personal medications, and a universal power adapter.

Connectivity:

Wi-Fi is available in most hotels, but signal strength may vary in remote areas. International roaming may not work in all regions. Local SIM cards can be arranged if needed.

Cultural Etiquette:

Bhutan is a deeply spiritual country. Please dress modestly, especially when visiting temples and dzongs. Removing shoes before entering temples is mandatory. Always ask permission before photographing people, especially monks.

Currency & Payments:

The local currency is the Bhutanese Ngultrum (BTN), which is equivalent to the Indian Rupee (INR). Credit cards are accepted at most hotels but not always in shops or remote areas. Carry some cash for small expenses and tips.

 

If you have specific health concerns, dietary preferences, or mobility limitations, kindly inform us in advance so that we can make the necessary arrangements to ensure your comfort and safety.

It is manageable for those with average fitness, and horse rides are available for part of the ascent (Horse Riding option is available). The rest of the trip includes comfortable drives, gentle sightseeing walks, and restful overnight stays at well-appointed hotels. If needed, the itinerary can be adjusted to match your comfort level.
