Bhutan limits tourism with a Sustainable Development Fee. Indians have a distinct permit process—use licensed operators, not informal border rumours.

Dzongs, prayer flags and the SDF

Paro’s Taktsang (Tiger Nest) is a steep hike; Thimphu is the capital’s museums and Buddha Dordenma; Punakha Dzong at the river confluence is a highlight.

Fly into Paro (weather-dependent) or drive from Phuentsholing. Five to seven nights is the sweet spot.

PP Tour is experienced with Bhutan permits, SDF collection and acclimatised hike pacing.

Quick tips

• Tiger Nest: start at dawn
• Pack for cold even in summer evenings
