Situated between China and India in some of the most remote Himalayan terrain, Bhutan is a land of wonderful dzongs, delightfully passionate festivals, and Shangri-La sights. Its architecture is of unique character and appropriate for the country’s sub-tropical climate with distinct dry and wet seasons. The cloistered, exotic Kingdom of Bhutan is one of a handful of destinations left in the world today where one can reconnect with a pace of life we in the West have lost. To learn more about the exquisite cultural monuments, festivals, excursions, and pilgrimages that have long made Bhutan an exotically charming destination spot, you need to cooperate with a verified local tour company as Bhutan is by and large a closed-off state, and the government does not allow tourists to come in individually. Should you be tempted to visit this remote kingdom, contact only a reputable Bhutan tour operator and learn about the tour options you have for an exclusive tour of this most wondrous of countries, truly one of the world’s last unspoiled paradises. Although Bhutanese tourism department planned to increase the mandatory daily tariff effective July 1 of this year, due to the global economic meltdown which resulted in scores of tour cancellations, the rates will continue unchanged into the Fall of 2009. The daily all inclusive rate is set by the Bhutanese tourism department and collected for each tourist arrival; tour operators add their profit margin on top of the mandatory government royalty and the resulting daily tour rate they charge averages approximately $ 225 per day.
