  2. Environmental Conservation: Bhutan is committed to environmental conservation, and visitors are encouraged to respect the pristine natural landscapes by minimizing waste, staying on designated trails, and refraining from littering.

  3. Altitude Awareness: Many destinations in Bhutan are located at high altitudes, which can lead to altitude sickness. Allow time for acclimatization, stay hydrated, and listen to your body's signals if you experience symptoms like headache or dizziness.

  4. Photography Etiquette: Always ask for permission before taking photos of people, particularly monks and religious ceremonies. Some areas may prohibit photography altogether, so respect signage and guidelines.

  5. Currency Exchange: Bhutan's official currency is the Ngultrum (BTN), but Indian Rupees are widely accepted. Exchange currency at authorized banks or hotels, as international credit cards may have limited acceptance.

  6. Limited Connectivity: Internet and mobile phone coverage can be limited, especially in rural areas. Embrace the opportunity to disconnect from technology and enjoy the present moment.

  7. Cultural Events: Check for local festivals or events happening during your visit, as these provide unique insights into Bhutanese culture and traditions. Be respectful and observe local customs if attending.

  8. Travel Permits: Certain areas of Bhutan may require special permits for visitation, particularly those near the border with India or China. Ensure all necessary permits are arranged in advance through your tour operator.

  9. Religious Sensitivity: Bhutan is a deeply religious country, and visitors should show respect for Buddhist customs and beliefs. Refrain from speaking loudly or disrupting religious ceremonies.
