There is an everyday levy essentially so this is important to remember when booking a Bhutan tours operator. The base set tax is $250 a night stop for every person for groups of multiple individuals however this is reduced by $50 in January, February, June, July, August, December as these months are viewed as ‘low season’ in Bhutan. The Tourism Council of Bhutan (TCB) allows for limits of 10% on days 11-20 of trips and a discount of 20% following 20 days.

Although it is common for people to complain to a Bhutan tour operator about this cost, it is worth remembering that the tariff includes tax, accommodation, food, transport, the services and entrance fee. All of a sudden, it doesn’t appear that costly, particularly when you think about the expense of accommodation in traditional holiday hotspots.

TIPPING

Although tipping is not part of the Bhutan visit or Bhutan Trek, it is becoming more famous. When you book your Bhutan trip by means of a Bhutan tour operator, you will most likely have a similar driver and tour guide throughout the Bhutan holiday. These people will in general expect tips regardless of the reality it is against authority Tourism Council of Bhutan (TCB) policy. Regularly, a collection takes place at the end of a trip and guides in Bhutan expect a windfall from groups. If you are on a Bhutan trek, it is also polite to tip the cook, server, and guide.
