Our FAQ's

Beyond flights and accommodation, factor in the daily tourist fee. This fee, mandated by the Bhutan government, covers a sustainable tourism levy, guide services, and some meals.  Additional costs include visa fees, travel permits for specific hikes, and cultural experiences like cooking classes.  Four Wheel Drive India can provide a detailed breakdown of estimated costs to help you budget effectively.

For a truly immersive experience, explore the city on foot. Many central areas are pedestrian-friendly, allowing you to soak in the sights, sounds, and atmosphere.  Biking is a popular option, offering a scenic and eco-friendly way to navigate the city.  Public buses are a budget-friendly choice for longer distances. Four Wheel Drive India can suggest cycling routes and help you navigate the public bus system.

Bhutan is generally considered very safe for solo travelers, with a low crime rate and a welcoming culture.  However, general safety precautions are advisable.  Inform your accommodation about your plans, avoid isolated areas at night, and dress modestly in religious sites.  Four Wheel Drive India can recommend safe neighborhoods and activities for solo travelers, ensuring a comfortable and enriching experience.

Bhutanese art is a treasured souvenir. Look for thangka paintings depicting religious scenes or landscapes.  Semi-precious stone jewelry like turquoise and lapis lazuli showcases Bhutan's rich artistic heritage.  Consider purchasing a traditional Bhutanese kira (women's dress) or gho (men's robe) as a unique and wearable memento. Four Wheel Drive India can suggest reputable shops with fair prices and ensure you get authentic souvenirs.

Thimphu's nightlife is relatively subdued compared to other capital cities.  However, you'll find cozy pubs with live music and local Bhutanese entertainment.  Several hotels have casinos if you're looking for a flutter.  For a cultural experience, visit a local archery competition held in the evenings, offering a glimpse into Bhutanese traditions. Four Wheel Drive India can recommend lively pubs and cultural events based on your interests.
