The rules for visiting Bhutan changed dramatically in June 2022 and the old system that had applied since tourism first started in the 1970s was withdrawn. Under the new system visitors to Bhutan have to pay a sustainable development fee (SDF) of US$100 per person per night to the Bhutan government in order to be issued a visa. The SDF is intended to be used to promote carbon-neutral tourism, to support the building of a more sustainable tourism sector and to support the education and health of local citizens.

The price for the tour will be paid on top of the SDF and covers the cost of all the services Blue Poppy will provide for you including guide, driver, transport, standard (3 star) accommodation, food, sightseeing and festival visits. Additional supplements are payable for treks and some other activities and for accommodation upgrades. Our pricing is based on a “daily rate” which varies depending on how many in the group.
