Things To Be Noted While Traveling To Bhutan

Bhutan takes your breath away because of its enchanting natural beauty. The monasteries – which are located in Bhutan – are gorgeous and also peaceful. You can visit Bhutan in any season for imbibing the spiritual vibrations from there. During monsoon season it will be better to avoid activities like trekking. You can visit Bhutan during festival seasons. Bhutan is famous for its many festivals – which are celebrated throughout the year. Therefore you might end up watching a festival (even if you did not plan specifically to visit Bhutan during one). But if you want to take part in a particular festival then plan your trip as early as possible; so that you do not miss attending the celebration. The packages will costs you more during special festival seasons (when time gets nearer to the festival) and the tickets will be mostly sold out earlier itself. Therefore book your tickets and do hotel reservations early – like even three months before – to ensure witnessing the festival.

Three main things that have to be noted while traveling to Bhutan are:

  • Keep money handy with you while traveling in Bhutan
  • Being a little flexible can help you in enjoying the hospitality of people
  • English is an education medium and thereby language won’t be much issue

Keep money handy with you while traveling in Bhutan

You have to keep a certain amount of money with you while traveling in Bhutan. There are not many ATMs in Bhutan and most of them are present in the town areas. If you want to go inside the secluded parts of Bhutan, then you might not be able to find an ATM – as easily as you do in your native place. Therefore keep some amount of money reserved with you; in case of emergency. If you are going with the help of best Bhutan tour packages providers, then you have to take care of only your personal expenses (once you reach there). Therefore analyze and carry enough money for surviving in places where ATMs are not available much. Even if ATM is available; it is not sure whether it will work properly or not. If the ATM is working properly too, you wont be able to gather huge amount of money in one shot – but only smaller amounts.

Being a little flexible can help you in enjoying the hospitality of people

It is true that you won’t be able to get the latest technologies and similar options in Bhutan -when you stay in certain areas which are away from the town. But you will be able to enjoy the hospitality of the people directly in such cases. If you are opting a home stay, then you will be able to interact with the people more. This will help you in understanding how much the natives are ready to extend their efforts for assisting you with your needs. Therefore you do not have to worry if you are not able to do a hotel reservation. You can go for home stays instead! But be sure that you are ready to be flexible enough & enjoy the hospitality of the people – which helps you in neglecting the discomforts (caused due to the absence of latest technology options & other comforts).

English is the education medium and thereby language won’t be much issue

You do not have to worry much about communication; once you reach Bhutan. You can communicate with the natives using the English language – as English is an education medium in Bhutan. Therefore the natives will be able to speak to you in English – even though if it is not much fluent.

Tours packages in India are many in number. But the one that will help you in gathering memories for a lifetime is the Bhutan tour package. Visit Bhutan for having a wonderful time there. The experiences that you gather through the hospitality of the people present in Bhutan helps you in understanding that being a little flexible will help you in gathering wonderful results. You won’t be able to get ATMs as frequently as how you get in your native. Hence take & keep enough money with you for surviving in Bhutan – especially in areas that are away from the town. English is used as a medium by the people of Bhutan (for education) and therefore you won’t have much problem in communicating with the people there in English.
