Key Information
Country Visa and Entry Procedure for Bhutan
All visitors traveling to Bhutan have required a Visa, except for visitors from India, Bangladesh, and the Maldives. The Bhutanese visa is processed through an online system by a licensed Bhutanese Tour Operator directly or through a foreign Travel Agent. A photo page of the passport is required to be sent to the tour operator, who will then apply for the visa. The Tourism Council of Bhutan (TCB) will then process the visa once the full payment of the Bhutan Holiday (including a USD 40 visa fee) has been wire transferred and received in the TBC Bank Account. The visa clearance will be processed within 72 working hours once the payment is received. The visa clearance letter is required at the entry point to Bhutan, and then the visa will be stamped onto the passport.
Visa and Entry Procedure for Tibet
According to the Chinese Immigration Rule, an application for both China Group Tourist Visa and Tibet Visa (also called the Tibet Travel Permit) is required for travelers who enter from Nepal. The Travel Agency takes care of the procedure; you will then be required to sign the tour contract by paying a certain deposit amount and submitting an image of your passport. The travel consultant will then gather your information and submit it for your Tibet Permit Application to the Tibet Tourism Bureau (TTB). It takes about 8 to 9 business days for the issue of your Tibet Travel Permit and for the Visa Invitation to be sent to the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu. It is also important to note that Chinese embassies will not issue a visa if your passport has less than six months of validity remaining.
Best Season for Tibet Nepal and Bhutan Tour

Travel Insurance
Travel Insurance is highly recommended while traveling to Tibet and Bhutan. It is highly recommended to have a travel insurance policy that covers theft, loss, and medical problems. It is also important to get travel insurance that will cover the cost if you are forced to cancel your tour because of various reasons, like flight cancellations, illness, injury, or death of close ones. This can help you to be protected against major losses due to Bhutan’s prepayment conditions and hefty cancellation charges. Similarly, it is useful to have trip-and-flight-cancellation insurance for Tibet for possible cases where the travel agency can’t get permits in time or when permits get lost or delayed in the post. If this happens, then you will not be allowed to board your flight to/from Tibet.
