Reserving your air tickets-
This is the most important as well as simplest step among your trip. You can either book your ticket directly at your own or you can choose a travel agent to reserve your ticket in advance.2. Obtaining your Visa-
You do not have to worry to obtain your Visa to Bhutan. Bhutan does not run any embassy where you can apply for Visa. Your Visa can only be applied by one of the registered Bhutan tour operators. Visa for Bhutan can only be discharged to you after you have made the full payment to Bhutan.3. Choosing a reliable tour operator-
There are more than 1,000 Bhutan tour operators which offer best Bhutansightseeingpackages. These are a few things that you should keep in your mind while choosing a tour operator:- You should consider the tour operators in your countries because they play a role of the middleman between the local Bhutanese agent and yourself. You will not usually see much difference between local Bhutan agent price and your agent’s price.
- Price is one of the most common factors for choosing a tour operator. So we recommended you to check all the tour operators’ packages along with the package rate before choosing an ideal travel agency.
- You should also check the quality of guides before choosing a tour operator. As over 1,000 registered companies in Bhutan, most agencies serve just a few people a year. There are only about 100 agencies who serve more than 10 travelers a year. It implies that most agencies are using freelance guides, and not many of them have permanent guides under their payrolls. It creates a huge difference in your experience as permanent guides would have more chance and experience in guiding travelers.
