Bhutan Tour Cost from India — Honest Breakdown

Top things to see & do

Sustainable Development FeeIndian nationals currently pay an SDF of about Rs 1,200 per person per night, with children discounted and under-6s exempt (rates subject to change).

Hotel categoryComfortable 3-star stays cost far less than boutique or luxury lodges, so your hotel choice is the biggest swing in the land price.

Travel seasonSpring and autumn festival months are peak and priced higher; summer and winter offer better value for the same itinerary.

Flights to ParoAirfare to Paro (PBH) via Kolkata, Delhi or Bagdogra sits on top of the land cost and moves with how early you book.

Trip lengthBecause the SDF is charged per night, a 4-night trip costs less in fees than a 7-night one — duration directly shapes the total.

Entry permitThe Bhutan entry permit is mandatory for Indians; we arrange it as part of your package so you don't chase paperwork.

Suggested itinerary

What makes up your Bhutan tour cost

Every Bhutan quote is built from a few clear pieces: your land package (hotels, meals, private car, guide and sightseeing), the Sustainable Development Fee charged per person per night, the entry permit we arrange, and your flights or overland transfer to Bhutan. We show these separately so you know exactly where your money goes.

Understanding the SDF and permit

Indian nationals do not pay a traditional visa fee. Instead you pay the government's Sustainable Development Fee — currently about Rs 1,200 per person per night, subject to change — with children discounted and under-6s exempt. Alongside this you need an entry permit, which Holiday Vibez organises for you as part of the package.

Land package price tiers

Our indicative land prices, per person on twin-sharing, are:

• 4 nights / 5 days from around Rs 34,999
• 5 nights / 6 days from around Rs 39,999
• 6 nights / 7 days from around Rs 44,999
• 7 nights / 8 days from around Rs 49,999

These cover the land arrangements; SDF nights and flights are quoted on top.

How to reach Bhutan

Most travellers fly into Paro (PBH), usually with one or two connections via Kolkata, Delhi or Bagdogra. Alternatively you can travel overland and enter via Phuentsholing on the West Bengal border. We help you weigh cost against convenience.

Best time and how it affects price

Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) bring clear skies, rhododendrons and festivals — and peak pricing. Summer is lush and quieter, while winter is crisp and excellent value. Choosing a shoulder month can meaningfully lower your total.
