Bhutan, a tiny country in Southeast Asia, only began allowing tourism in the 1960s. Planning a visit to Bhutan is quite different from most countries and requires planning. Here are a few practical things to know about traveling to Bhutan.

Going On Your Own Isn’t Recommended

Bhutan charges all foreign tourists a daily visitation fee of $200-$250. Trekking or visiting more remote parts of the country may require extra permits. That’s why it’s recommended to travel to Bhutan with a trusted tour company rather than on your own. The company will handle all the logistics of the visa and itinerary, which can be very challenging to do on your own.

There Are Many Places Where Photos Aren’t Allowed

One rule to remember when visiting Bhutan is this: when your shoes are off, leave the camera in your bag. If you have to take your shoes off before entering somewhere, it means that place is sacred, and so taking pictures is considered inappropriate.

Bhutan is at High Altitude

Paro, where all flights to Bhutan arrive, is at an altitude of over 7,000 feet. Many treks in the country go even higher than that, which makes for great views but can also cause altitude sickness. Do pack painkillers for headaches and check with your doctor about altitude adjustment prescription medicine before your trip.

La Paz, Bolivia

The capital of Bolivia is the highest capital on Earth, located at nearly 12,000 feet above sea level. Its location high in the Andes Mountains gives it a spectacular backdrop, and visitors have the ability to see lots of beautiful architecture dating back to the colonial era.

Quito, Ecuador

Another South American capital comes in at 2nd on the list, located at almost 9,500 feet above sea level. Quito is a treat, and was even named a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its treasure of having the largest preserved old town in all of the Americas.

Bogota, Colombia

The third-highest capital on Earth is also located in South America! Bogota, Colombia’s capital, has a ton of cultural attractions and a world-class museum scene. Don’t forget to try delicious Colombian food such as arepas if you go, too.

Bhutan, located in South Asia is a landlocked country, best known for its disconnection with the rest of the world. The veil of mystery fell down in the 1970s when the former king was coronated, and the international media were allowed to get into the country and witness the celebration. However, due to its isolation, there are still many unknown and interesting facts about this country people do not know.

Terrifyingly Bad Roads

If you are someday planning on visiting Bhutan and it rural parts, be prepared to have the worst car-ride of your life. The nerve-wracking and heart spinning roads on a 7,500-meter-high mountain will carve into your memory forever.

There Are No Traffic Lights

Bhutanese are known as well-behaved drivers, who drive slowly, without any anger or stress. Also, the number of cars isn’t high, so there is no need for traffic lights.
