The new Bhutan Government Tariff
of $250 per day is the
minimum
daily rate to be charged by operators.
The rate constitutes essentially an all-inclusive rate
and in summary it
includes:
1.
35%
royalty & taxes due to the Bhutan Government
2. Standard accommodation
in government-approved hotels, guesthouses, home stays
or in tents (typically while on a trek) based on twin sharing basis
(see a note on accommodations below)
3. all
meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner
4. services
of a guide
5. all
transportation within Bhutan as per itinerary
6. fees to
monasteries, temples and monuments
Excluded from minimum daily tariff are:
-Druk Air airfare & airport tax
-Bhutan Visa Fees (US$ 20 for two weeks)
-bicycle rental (where applicable)
-Personal expenses - laundry, room service, phone
calls, etc.
-Medical, Evacuation and Trip Cancellation Insurance
Per Bhutan Government Tariff / Royalty
regulations, the
minimum daily rate is
based on
a minimum
of three people
traveling
together in a group. For less than three
persons
traveling together, a
Mandatory Surcharge is
added to the Minimum Daily Tariff and all operators are
required to collect it.
While based
upon these regulations the operators may set their rates at
the
minimum of $250
per day, they are not required to apply the rate
uniformly across all tour packages they may offer.
Set Departure Group Tours are generally priced based
on the minimum daily rate, while often pre-priced ready to
book private tours, based on dates of travel per client
preference, aka Independent Journeys, or
tailor-made tours, designed per client request, aka
Custom Designed Private Tours, may operate on
slightly higher daily rate.
