How much does it cost to travel to Bhutan?

The Bhutan travel/tour cost depends on the duration and category of hotels you choose during your stay in Bhutan. All International visitors to Bhutan (Except Indian nationals) have to pay US $ 100 per person per night stay in Bhutan as a Sustainable Development Fee (SDF). The Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Over-Seas Citizens of India (OCI card holders) wishing to visit Bhutan are treated as any other International travelers.
