The Royal Government of Bhutan collects a minimum daily cost from every tourist as a condition of obtaining a visa and confirmed air reservations. This has made Bhutan one of the most expensive countries in the world to visit. But, it has been a long time since prices were raised and as of January 1, 2009, all peak and non-peak season prices will increase $50 per person per day.
Most people who have been to Bhutan still feel the experience is still an exceptional, best-in -a-lifetime experience of natural beauty, cultural splendor and Buddhist serenity.
Journeys will maintain our current prices through the end of 2008. There are still possibilities for visiting this year, but some air reservations during the busy festival season in September and October are nearly sold out.
