Getting there
Bhutan is still remarkably off the beaten path, with just over 17,000 visitors last year. Tourists must use a licensed guide service (more than 100 are registered). The cultural knowledge and communicativeness of the guides vary widely from service to service, so contact previous clients about their experience before booking your trip. I used Lhomen Tours & Trekking (www.lhomen.com.bt). Your guide service will also arrange your plane tickets and visa.
Travel rates are set by the government, at a minimum of $200 a day ($65 of which goes directly to national health care and education). The fee includes essentially everything in-country: transportation, hotel, meals, guides, and so on.
