Tour Payment

Government regulations require that your full tour payment be deposited before your visa can be processed. Once the full tour payments are deposited, then the money gets transferred to the account of the Tourism Council of Bhutan, who releases the  amount only after the invoices are submitted.

The money need to be transferred through your country’s corresponding banks. Contact us we will help you in providing the address.
