What is the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF)?

The SDF is a government fee of USD 100 per adult per night, fixed until 31 August 2027. Children aged 6–11 pay USD 50 per night, children under 6 are free, and Indian nationals pay INR 1,200 per night. It funds Bhutan’s free healthcare, education and conservation, and it is already included in our daily rate.

Travelling from India or Bangladesh?

For Indian nationals the SDF is INR 1,200 per night (fixed through August 2027), so trips cost much less. Indian and Bangladeshi travellers are quoted in INR. See our Bhutan packages from India.

How many days should I plan?

Every day in Bhutan costs the same, so the length of your trip is your main budget lever. Seven days is ideal for a first visit. See how many days you need in Bhutan.

Why not book cheaper?

Unlicensed sellers often hide the SDF or cut guide and hotel quality. Drukyul Holidays is licensed (No. 1030023) and quotes everything upfront, with no hidden fees.

Is there still a minimum daily package?

No. Bhutan’s old USD 200–250 minimum daily package ended in 2022. Today you pay the SDF and visa fee, plus a land package set by your tour operator.

How to pay

Payment is in US dollars before arrival, by Wise or international bank wire transfer. With a wire transfer, the sender pays all bank charges so the full amount reaches us. We send our bank details with your confirmed itinerary.

Delays caused by weather

There is no extra charge from us if flights or roads are delayed by weather, but extra nights, meals and transport during the delay are paid at cost.
