Very Important Advice Re Hotels & Itinerary Changes in Bhutan.
Bhutan has a limited tourism infra-structure, which is constantly evolving, and there are occasionally challenges in providing accommodation to all visitors offered visa's at one time.

The current national system used for all tourist visitors is based on allocating hotel rooms approximately 10 days prior to their arrival in the Kingdom.  During the peak months of March-May and September-November demand can sometimes necessitate a late minor change of your prearranged itinerary and/or a change of scheduled hotel in order to accommodate you satisfactorily.

Our experience in the past suggests this has rarely caused any major inconvenience and certainly has not in any way undermined the rich and rewarding experience offered by this wonderful destination. However we kindly request you factor this possibility in to your planning when considering a visit to Bhutan.

There is no charge levied should your arrival / departure due to weather conditions, Drukair delays or roadblocks cause a delay.
