Frequently asked questions about this trip
Can I visit Bhutan myself?
No, you can only tour Bhutan through a licensed tour agency that must be registered with the Bhutan Tourism Council. All tourists visiting Bhutan must book a trip to Bhutan through a tour operator such as Odyssey Treks.
How and where to apply for a Bhutan visa?
Tourists are not allowed to apply for their own visas and visa application services are not available at Bhutanese embassies. So, you can apply for a Bhutanese visa only through the official and registered travel agent and Odyssey Treks will handle the whole process for you.
Is altitude sickness common in Bhutan?
With the exception of a few cases, altitude sickness is not common among visitors to Bhutan. The first two days should suit you as most of the sights are less than 3000m high. If you want to go trekking (which is above 3000 meters), it is best to avoid overexertion and keep yourself hydrated. Consult your healthcare provider and take medication if necessary.
Are women safe trekking to Bhutan alone?
Yes, it is. Bhutan is considered one of the safest countries in the world for travel.
Is it possible to trek alone without joining a group?
