Why is the Tariff fixed at USD 250? The government sets this fixed Tariff to manage tourism in a sustainable way. All Tour Companies must charge the established rate. Bhutan’s greatest concerns are protection of environment, avert negative impacts, and more importantly preserve the culture. The only way to visit Bhutan is to purchase a Tour Package with a licensed Tour Company/Travel Agency at the rates fixed by government. The country has marvelously preserved its age-old traditions and cultural values. The cost that a visitor pays is not just for entry into Bhutan. This $250 covers your hotel accommodation, 3-meals per day, transportation while in the country, certified tour guides, all inland permits & fees, except your airline ticket. If your Tour package is for trekking, this covers expenses such as pack ponies/yaks, camping equipment, and guides. Thus, when you breakdown the cost, it is not as expensive as one thinks. Moreover, visitors to Bhutan discover things such as that most countries in the world have lost centuries ago. The government of Bhutan does not encourage cheaper influx of tourists to achieve its noble goal of sustainable tourism with “low-volume high value” so that the privileged visitors truly enjoy once they are in the country.
