Overview of 3 Night 4 Days Bhutan Tour

3 Night 4 days Bhutan Tour: We have a special Bhutan tour package from Kathmandu, Nepal, that offers memorable Bhutan tours. The intriguing place with high mountains and stunning valleys offers 3-night, 4-day Bhutan tour packages blanketed pinnacles. You are running springs loaded with affection and dedication for Lord Buddha, Bhutan, which lies among India and Tibet in the eastern Himalayas.

The nation is less populated and less contaminated. Bhutan has remained puzzling about the external world. Since the government has opened up to the world, there has been an expanding inflow of visitors worldwide. However, the number remains limited. When you enter this beautiful sport, you will encounter a quiet mood and amazing landscapes.

3 Night 4 Days Bhutan Tour Packages

Bhutan Tour, the briefest visit, ensures an astounding encounter. You land at Paro, where you can see the mansion post at Rinpung, the national historical center, and the seventh-century sanctuary at Kurje. A three-night, four-day Bhutan tour offers the opportunity to climb the Taktshang religious community (Tiger’s Lair), revered by the whole Himalayan Buddhist world.

Afterward, you visit Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan, where you can see a stunning mansion fortified at the Tashi Chho Dzong religious community, which holds the rich history of Buddhism in Bhutan. You can then encounter places like Memorial Stupa, customary paper processing plants, people’s legacy exhibition halls, artistry shops, and the world’s most significant sculpture of Lord Buddha.

You can search the spots and be captivated by the Bhutanese culture, individuals, language, conventions, accounts, and ancient rarities. You will explore Bhutan’s delightful area and be in a particular spot. You can visit Bhutan at any time of the year, be it May, February to April, or October to December. The perfect time is when the climate stays dry and wonderful throughout the visit.

3 Night 4 Days Bhutan Tour Cost

The cost of a tour in Bhutan can vary depending on the season. During the low season, you can expect to pay between $220 and $270 per day; during the high season, the cost will be between $250 and $300. The daily fee includes accommodations, meals, ground transportation, and a licensed guide.

However, additional expenses such as airfare (around $465 to $490) and visa fees (around $40 to $50) may apply. You should also budget for personal expenses. It’s worth noting that Bhutan’s tourism policy focuses on providing a high-value and low-impact experience, which means that you can expect a unique and culturally immersive experience.

Best Time For Bhutan Tour

Our administration and offices will ensure you have the best time in Bhutan when you travel. You can visit Kathmandu and Bhutan throughout the year and book the trek whenever you are free.

Experts say Spring and Autumn are the peak seasons for a visit due to festivals and stable weather. Winter and Monsoon treks have their perks and quiet cities. Traveling in a larger group or during the off-season can be somewhat cheaper.

Spring (March-May)

In Bhutan, spring is one of the perfect time to travel. It is the time of the year when the weather is pleasant, and the snow is melting, revealing beautiful wildflowers that decorate the hillsides. The air is dry, and there’s just the right amount of rainfall to keep everything looking fresh. One of the most appealing aspects of a spring holiday in Bhutan is the breathtaking clarity of the views.

You will be amazed by the amazing Himalayan Panoramas at high elevations. In May, the jacaranda flower blossoms beautifully in Bhutan. Gom Kora in eastern Bhutan attracts thousands of pilgrims in March and April. This stupa attracts a large crowd and holds great religious significance in Bhutan. It happens during the second lunar month.

Autumn (September-November)

Autumn is filled with clear, bright, and sunny days. This season’s views are breathtaking, making it a popular destination for many. The religious site in Bhutan is truly a sight with its amazing autumn scenery. As autumn continues, higher elevations in the north will likely start spotting some early snowfall. You can see the stunning view of partially snow-covered Mt Jomolhari.

You can take a look at the colorful monk festivals that take place in Thimphu. Exploring the magnificent Butnese fortress with its incredible architecture during autumn will take you to an area of glowing beauty and vibrant colors.

Review

I feel so privileged to have visited this beautiful country Bhutan, and My Everest Trip made it possible and easy for me to go there. This 3-night 4, days package is filled with culture, history, and a great experience. Since you cannot just go to Bhutan alone, you need a reliable agency to arrange the trip for you, and My Everest Trip did a very good job.

I appreciate this package includes almost everything, this way I don’t have to worry about cost, only for personal shopping and tips, which makes it much easier. I recommend contacting Puru at My Everest Trip and letting him take care of this tour. I will cherish these amazing days in Bhutan in my heart always.

My Everest Trip operates the Bhutan Tour. We have only good things to say about the service, the prearranged sightseeing, the hotel, and the food and guide. 

From start to end, we met only friendly and professional staff in Nepal and Bhutan, and the trip was even better than we expected.

From Kathmandu to Paro, you will be flying in an economic class. For Nepal to Bhutan Travel, a travel agency in Nepal will book the plane tickets, and you will enjoy a quick 1-hour mountain flight to Paro airport.

When you land in Bhutan, you will get your private car with a driver. All transportation in Bhutan will be done in the same vehicle. You will have a comfortable means of transportation and be accompanied by a licensed guide throughout the trek. On the fourth day, you will also return from Paro to Kathmandu on an international flight from MyEverestTrip during Nepal to Bhutan Travel.

The core of tourism in Nepal is the trekking destinations that take you close to the mountains. The Himalayas of Nepal have made the perfect trekking trails for adventure seekers and brave souls worldwide to use. Nepal is famous for rather long holidays that demand weeks of walking. It is renowned as a backpacker’s destination, where you can trek around the mountain or travel around the city without government restrictions.

You can fly to Kathmandu and start traveling wherever you want (this is the most significant difference between Nepal and Bhutan tourism). Like Bhutan, you will need a travel visa before entering Nepal. Along with the key, you will need trek permits specific to the trekking areas/regions you travel to.

The local government will issue these permits once you start the trek. Only a few routes have been recorded as restricted regions of Nepal, and you need a special license and compulsory travel with the travel agency. Otherwise, there are government interfaces for traveling in Nepal. The average trekker spends about $40 per day in Nepal.

Tourism in Bhutan

The core of tourism in Bhutan is its rich Buddhist culture and perfectly built architecture. Century-old architectural masterpieces and a few natural wonders have made Bhutan the perfect sightseeing destination. Unlike Nepal, Bhutan is somewhat known for its peaceful and luxurious holiday that will completely relax you.

Bhutan is partially owned for popular short trips around the city (like the Central Western Bhutan Tour) completed in 3 to 7 days. The government has placed significant restrictions on tourism in Bhutan. You must book your travel package to Bhutan before applying for the visa. Once your visa is approved, you will travel with the travel agency.

The government had strictly set per-day costs and defined the kind of accommodation, food, and transportation the travelers receive during the Bhutan Tour. This means everything is planned and organized even before you get there. Such travel restrictions have made Bhutan one of the most expensive countries in Asia to visit.

Food Available on Bhutan Tour

Delicious meals will be available throughout your stay. You can have breakfast, lunch, and dinner at your accommodation or chosen restaurants. On the tour, you can also experience the diverse range of Bhutanese cuisine, with exciting dishes such as Ema Datshi (chili and cheese stew), momo (dumplings), and red rice. You will also find international options in urban areas.

You can also enjoy a cultural dining experience with some packages, where you can dine in traditional Bhutanese in authentic local settings. When traveling to local areas, meals may be more basic. However, tour operators ensure that nourishing food is always available throughout the journey.

Visa Requirements for Bhutan trip

Unfortunately, individual travelers are not permitted to enter Bhutan. You must book the tour through an authorized travel company approved by the Tourism Council of Bhutan. A 30-day single entry visa costs approximately USD 40 for all nations except for Indians, Bangladeshis, and Maldivians, who can obtain the permit upon arrival at the port. Processing a Bhutan tour package through Nepal-based operators is a more convenient option.

An extensive list of the Tourism Council of Bhutan requirements must be completed beforehand. For travelers to Bhutan, Kathmandu, Nepal, is the ideal entry point. The travel companies in this city offer a wide range of options and competitive processes, giving travelers more flexibility in planning their trips.

Once you receive the visa online, you can conveniently pay the visa fees. The daily package fee is $200-$250; you can pay it when you arrive. Just a copy of the passport is needed to contain the visa. Your visa will be processed and ready for you within 72 hours. You can choose to have it sent directly to your email upon request. Plan the itinerary and negotiate with a local operator.
