Important Considerations

Every tourist pays a Sustainable Development Fee of $100 per adult per night (half price ages 6-11, free under 6), set at this rate through August 2027. A licensed guide must accompany you at all times, so most visitors book through a tour operator. Paro airport has limited flights from Delhi, Bangkok, Kathmandu, and Singapore
