ACCOMODATION
Traditional farmhouses to fancy five-star luxury resorts can be found in Bhutan. The government maintains a tight restriction about starred hotels, stating that only hotels with three stars or higher can welcome tariff-paying tourists. Our hotels offer a modern style with a unique blend of Bhutanese architecture and modern conveniences. Several high-end hotels have opened in recent years and you will have to pay an additional fee on top of the usual tariff for them. Aside from starred hotels, you can stay at a family-run eco lodge, a historical lodge converted from a traditional old house, or a farmhouse, all of which will provide you with a unique insight into the daily lives of a typical Bhutanese family. Because eastern Bhutan sees less tourists than the western regions, lodging is easier to come by.Visitors going on excursions will be given waterproof tents and whatever additional camping gear is considered essential (with the exception of your sleeping bag). In contrast to other Himalayan locations, Bhutan does not have teahouses or lodges on trekking trails. It's true wilderness trekking here!
