Bhutan: The Royal Kingdom


Bhutan has recently reopened its borders to international visitors. The country is truly a splendid wonder and untouched by Western influences. Even the most privileged travelers consider Bhutan a special destination - and now we invite you to visit this hidden jewel in the Himalayas.


Our customized Bhutan tours can be coordinated by flight from Delhi, Kolkota, and Nepal, or by surface from Darjeeling/Sikkim. The best part: Sodha Travel can process your visa application! Required information is sent to us 6 weeks before departure, along with a payment of $30 USD (amount subject to change). We will email you a copy of the visa approval once received from the Royal Government of Bhutan.


Please contact us with any additional questions about this enchanting country, and we look forward to coordinating your Bhutanese experience!

it is a fantastic country, but how do you justify the claim that its borders have "reopened". Although it was closed off for centuries, it has been open for international visitors for quite a few decades already.

Allow me to clarify the statement on the Bhutan borders. Yes, the borders have been open to visitors from a select list of countries. In addition, only a limited amount of visas were approved each year by The Department of Immigration, Ministry of Home and Cultural Affairs of the Royal Government of Bhutan. Only recently did Bhutan reopen its borders to travelers holding passports from previously prohibited countries, and also lift its limit on the number of annual tourist visas. The process now allows us to coordinate travel to Bhutan for many of our international clients, and also efficiently and easily coordinate travel for all involved.

Appreciate your feedback!
