Bhutan Travel Visas

Obtaining a Bhutan travel visa independently can be quite a challenge. After all, the Bhutanese government, which is the institutional arm of one of the last enclaves of true Tibetan Buddhists in the world, is rather reserved about letting in outsiders. Indeed, according to estimates, only 9,000 tourists a year (approximately) get to explore the kingdom. Given the intense competition for those spaces, it is a smart idea to get in touch with a Footloose Bhutan representative as soon as possible at 720-220-6998. You can contact us via email as well at tours@FootlooseBhutan.com.

You should generally allow two weeks to receive your visa (assuming you are applying from the US). You may also want to budget for international airfare, domestic airfare from India, airport taxes, personal expenses, and trip cancellation insurance. While the operators at Footloose Bhutan work assiduously to ensure the comfort and safety of country guests, Bhutan is by and large an unexplored realm–which is also part of its magnetic attraction for experienced travelers.

The good news is that all the travel visa preparation is definitely worth it. From Thimpu in the west to Bumthang in the east, festivals celebrate human spirituality with colorful, passionate dances and feasts. The diverse yearly climate of Bhutan provides stunning backdrops. Dozens of unexplored 20,000-foot peaks rise above Bhutan’s Himalayas. Thousands of fortresses, otherwise known as dzongs, dot the landscape as sage testaments to more militaristic times and to the architectural genius of native inhabitants.

Sightsee the Punakha Valley, get the feel of cosmopolitan Thimphu, and lose yourself amidst desolate Himalayan hiking trails. Call an operator today to set your itinerary for Bhutan–the lost paradise of the East.
