Reassurance of your tour payment:

There are also instances of clients feeling apprehensive about transferring the tour payments in advance. In fact, your bookings are confirmed or visa is issued only upon received of all your tour payments. Without the tour payments, your visa will be not issued at any cost.

However, all the tour payments wire transferred will directly deposit to Tourism Council of Bhutan’s Account in favor the company. Not to the company’s account directly.

The company will receive the payment in our local currency only upon the completion of your tour and provisions of the invoices after deducting the government Sustainable Development Fee and taxes at the sources.
