Indian nationals pay a Sustainable Development Fee of INR 1,200 per person per night, not the USD 100 per night rate that applies to international tourists. On this 5-night package, the total SDF per person is ₹6,000, and it is fully included in the package price. Children below 5 years are exempt; children aged 6 to 12 pay 50% SDF (₹600 per night). No additional SDF payment is needed at the border.

Indian nationals do not need a visa to enter Bhutan. You can enter via the Phuentsholing land border, which this package uses, with either an original Indian Passport (minimum 6 months validity) or an original Voter ID card. Photocopies are not accepted. ClearEast Trip assists with entry permit processing at Bhutan Immigration in Phuentsholing. A licensed Bhutanese guide, mandatory for all tourists, is included.

March to May is the most popular window, spring brings rhododendron blooms across the valleys and reliable clear skies for Himalayan views from Dochula Pass. September to November is the second peak, with post-monsoon clarity and ideal trekking conditions for the Tiger's Nest hike. Avoid July and August, when heavy rains affect roads. Winter (December to February) is cold but peaceful, with occasional snow at higher elevations.

The Paro Taktsang hike covers 4.5 km each way with a 518-metre elevation gain, reaching 3,120 metres. Most reasonably fit travellers complete it in 4 to 6 hours round trip. There is a halfway cafeteria stop and a horse option for the lower section. Guests with cardiac conditions, severe asthma, or limited mobility should consult a doctor before booking. The trail is pine-forested and well-marked, your licensed guide accompanies you the entire way.

Included: 5 nights accommodation (2N Thimphu, 1N Punakha, 2N Paro), daily breakfast, Sustainable Development Fee (₹6,000 total per person), Bhutan entry permit processing, a licensed Bhutanese guide, private vehicle for all transfers and sightseeing, monument and site entry fees, and Bagdogra/NJP pickup and drop. Excluded: flights or train tickets, lunches and dinners, personal expenses, and travel insurance.
