Wishing a very Happy Thanksgiving! to all our American guests turned friends. On this joyous day, we wish to take the opportunity to thank you for counting on us to offer you a memorable vacation in one of the most unique places on the planet.

Majority of our guests are from the U.S. and on behalf of our country, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for choosing Bhutan. Much of the tour cost goes directly to the government as Sustainable Development Fee “SDF” of US$100 per person per night (as of now) which goes towards continued free health & education, and environmental conservation projects. This price prohibitive but protective policy of ours has successfully allowed our country to remain as an authentic magical place. And companies like ours (albeit small & family run) continue to lobby for this “high value; low volume” approach to sustainable tourism and contribute quite a bit to the government exchequer.
A case in point: In the month of October alone, we hosted over dozen groups and contributed a whopping US$119,200/- as SDF to the government. Thanks to our friends from California, NYC, Colorado, Florida, Austria, Germany, Spain. Singapore, Israel etc.
Happy Travels and Best Wishes! 🙏

…”It is not simply a matter of what in the travel industry is known as "carrying capacity." More important is "welcoming capacity”. - Tshering Tobgay (Prime Minister of Bhutan)

Enjoy this succinct piece by Travel Weekly🙏 https://www.travelweekly.com/Arnie-Weissmann/Interview-Bhutan-prime-minister-Tshering-Tobgay

Tshering Togay has a simple way to judge tourism success or failure: Do residents regard visitors as guests? Or intruders?

Umm,🤔We are not taking any more tour bookings for Oct.&Nov. ‘23. 🇧🇹 indeed and don’t wish to make that beautiful place more crowded with visitors. We are a small family run venture & 🇧🇹 is a year-round destination with summer & winter not half as extreme as etc. :) Will be happy to host you from December onwards. Thank you and happy travels🙏🏻
