Paro, Kingdom of Bhutan

These Terms & Conditions govern the booking and use of tourism services provided by Bhutan Four Friends Tours and Travels (“Bhutan Four Friends”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), a Bhutan-based travel agency/tour operator.

By making an inquiry, booking a tour, making a payment, applying for a visa or permit through us, or travelling under an itinerary arranged by us, the traveller (“you”, “your”, or “traveller”) agrees to these Terms & Conditions.

These Terms are intended to operate in accordance with the applicable laws, regulations, policies, notifications, procedures and requirements of the Royal Government of Bhutan, including the requirements administered by the Department of Tourism and Department of Immigration, as applicable.

Where a mandatory Bhutanese law, regulation, government notification, or official tourism/immigration requirement differs from these Terms, the applicable government requirement shall prevail.

2. BHUTAN’S RESPONSIBLE AND SUSTAINABLE TOURISM POLICY

Bhutan follows a distinctive tourism approach based on sustainable and responsible tourism.

Our tours are operated with respect for Bhutan’s:

  • Environment;
  • Cultural heritage;
  • Buddhist traditions;
  • Local communities;
  • Monuments and sacred places;
  • Wildlife and natural resources;
  • Local laws and regulations; and
  • Sustainable tourism objectives.

Travellers are expected to respect Bhutanese culture, customs, religious practices, local communities and the natural environment throughout their visit.

We may require travellers to comply with reasonable instructions from our guides, drivers, hotel representatives, local authorities and other authorized personnel.

3. GOVERNMENT TOURISM REQUIREMENTS

All tourism services provided in Bhutan are subject to applicable government laws, rules, regulations, policies, notifications and procedures.

Government requirements may change from time to time.

Such requirements may include rules concerning:

  • Tourist visas;
  • Entry permits;
  • Sustainable Development Fee;
  • Tourism services;
  • Certified accommodation;
  • Tourist guides;
  • Tourist vehicles;
  • Route permits;
  • Trekking;
  • Protected areas;
  • Monument and heritage-site access;
  • Border entry and exit;
  • Immigration;
  • Travel insurance; and
  • Other tourism-related matters.

We reserve the right to amend an itinerary or service where necessary to comply with an official government requirement.

4. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FEE (SDF)

The Sustainable Development Fee (“SDF”) is a government tourism levy applicable to eligible visitors to Bhutan.

The applicable SDF is determined by the Royal Government of Bhutan and may vary according to:

  • Traveller nationality;
  • Age;
  • Applicable government concessions;
  • Length of stay;
  • Government incentives;
  • Exemptions;
  • Waivers; and
  • Other applicable government rules.

The SDF is not a fee determined by Bhutan Four Friends Tours and Travels.

Where applicable, the SDF must be paid in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Bhutanese authorities.

The SDF amount quoted to a traveller may therefore be subject to change if the Government of Bhutan changes the applicable rate, concession, exemption, incentive or calculation method.

Where SDF is included in your package price, we will identify it in the quotation or invoice where reasonably practicable.

Where SDF is payable separately, the traveller remains responsible for payment.

The official government SDF requirements shall prevail over any information contained on our website or in previous quotations if the government changes the applicable rules.

5. VISA AND ENTRY PERMIT

Entry into Bhutan is subject to approval by the relevant Bhutanese authorities.

Depending on nationality and circumstances, travellers may require a:

  • Tourist visa;
  • e-Visa;
  • Entry permit;
  • Route permit; or
  • Other authorization.

We may assist eligible travellers with visa or permit applications when such assistance is included in the booking.

However, Bhutan Four Friends Tours and Travels does not guarantee that a visa, permit or entry authorization will be granted.

The final decision regarding admission to Bhutan rests with the competent government authorities.

The current Department of Immigration requirements include, among other things, a passport meeting the applicable validity requirement and other documentation specified by the authorities. 

Travellers are responsible for providing genuine, accurate and complete documents.

6. PASSPORT REQUIREMENTS

Travellers must possess a valid passport or other government-approved travel document as required by Bhutanese immigration authorities.

Travellers should ensure that their passport meets the applicable validity requirements for the intended journey.

The Department of Immigration currently states that a passport should have at least six months’ validity from the intended date of departure from Bhutan for tourist visa/permit processing. 

We strongly recommend that travellers check their passport validity well before booking and departure.

We are not responsible for consequences arising from:

  • Expired passports;
  • Incorrect passport details;
  • Lost passports;
  • Damaged passports;
  • Insufficient passport validity;
  • Failure to obtain required visas or permits; or
  • Incorrect or incomplete documentation supplied by the traveller.

7. TRAVEL INSURANCE

Travellers are strongly advised to obtain comprehensive travel insurance before travelling to Bhutan.

Insurance should, where appropriate, cover:

  • Medical treatment;
  • Emergency evacuation;
  • Repatriation;
  • Trip cancellation;
  • Trip interruption;
  • Lost or delayed baggage;
  • Personal belongings;
  • Travel delays;
  • Trekking and adventure activities; and
  • Other risks relevant to the itinerary.

Where travel insurance is required as part of an applicable government immigration or tourism requirement, the traveller must provide valid insurance documentation.

The Department of Immigration currently lists valid travel insurance among the requirements for tourist e-Visa/e-Permit applications. 

8. BOOKING AND CONFIRMATION

A booking request is not automatically a confirmed booking.

A booking becomes confirmed when:

  1. We have accepted the booking;
  2. The required deposit or payment has been received;
  3. Required documentation has been received; and
  4. We have issued written booking confirmation.

Availability of hotels, flights, vehicles, guides and other services is subject to confirmation.

A quotation or proposed itinerary does not guarantee availability until the booking has been confirmed.

Depending on the itinerary, the price may include:

  • Meals where specified;
  • Transportation;

Where such charges are imposed or increased after a quotation has been issued, the traveller may be responsible for the additional amount where permitted by applicable law.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify travellers of material changes affecting their booking.

11. PAYMENT TERMS

Payment requirements will be stated in the quotation or booking confirmation.

We may require:

  • An advance deposit;
  • Partial payment;
  • Full payment before arrival; or
  • Payment according to an agreed schedule.

A booking may not be confirmed until the required payment has been received.

If payment is not received by the stated deadline, we may cancel or release the booking and recover applicable cancellation or supplier charges.

12. CURRENCY AND BANK CHARGES

Prices may be quoted in USD, Bhutanese Ngultrum (BTN), Indian Rupees, or another currency agreed with the traveller.

Where payment is made in a different currency, the applicable exchange rate or payment-provider conversion rate may apply.

Bank charges, intermediary bank fees, card-processing charges or currency-conversion charges may be payable by the traveller unless otherwise stated.

13. CANCELLATION BY THE TRAVELLER

The cancellation policy specifically stated in the traveller’s booking confirmation or invoice shall apply to that booking.

Where no specific cancellation schedule has been provided, refunds will be calculated after deducting amounts that are non-refundable or cannot reasonably be recovered from suppliers or authorities.

Government fees and other charges that are legally non-refundable may not be refundable.

14. SDF AND GOVERNMENT FEE REFUNDS

Any refund of SDF, visa fees, permits or other government charges is subject to the rules and decisions of the relevant government authority.

Bhutan Four Friends Tours and Travels cannot guarantee a refund of a government charge merely because a traveller cancels a tour.

Where a government authority refunds an amount to us on behalf of a traveller, we will pass on the applicable refundable amount after deducting any permitted transaction or administrative charges.

15. CANCELLATION BY BHUTAN FOUR FRIENDS

We may cancel or modify a tour where reasonably necessary because of:

  • Flooding;
  • Flight cancellations;

Government requirements regarding certified hotels or accommodation may change.

Where a government authority requires proof of accommodation for immigration, SDF, visa, permit or other purposes, travellers may be required to provide or retain the relevant documentation.

Where a guide is included in the package, the guide will provide services in accordance with the applicable Bhutanese tourism requirements and the itinerary.

Travellers must follow reasonable safety and operational instructions from the guide.

  • Landslides;
  • Uneven terrain;
  • Slippery paths;
  • River crossings;
  • Remote locations;
  • Limited communications;

  • Other natural or environmental hazards.

Travellers participate in such activities voluntarily and must comply with applicable safety instructions.

We may alter, postpone or cancel an activity where continuation would create an unreasonable safety risk.

22. ALTITUDE AND PHYSICAL FITNESS

Certain Bhutan itineraries involve high altitude or strenuous walking.

Travellers are responsible for determining whether they are physically fit for their selected itinerary.

Travellers should obtain appropriate medical advice before participating in high-altitude or physically demanding activities.

If a traveller becomes unwell or is unable to continue, we may modify the itinerary for safety reasons.

Additional costs resulting from medical evacuation, additional accommodation, transportation, guide services or other emergency arrangements may be payable by the traveller or their insurer, subject to applicable law.

23. HEALTH INFORMATION

Travellers should inform us in advance of any special requirements that may materially affect the safe provision of the tour, including mobility requirements or dietary restrictions.

We will treat such information appropriately and use it only as reasonably necessary to provide the requested service and meet applicable legal or safety requirements.

  • Damages property;
  • Refuses reasonable safety instructions; or
  • Seriously violates local cultural or religious requirements.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO TRAVELLERS

Bhutan Four Friends Tours and Travels operates its tours in accordance with applicable Bhutanese tourism and immigration requirements. Government policies, fees, SDF rates, visa requirements and other tourism regulations may change.

Travellers should always rely on the applicable government requirements and their confirmed booking documents.

Where a government rule conflicts with information previously published on our website, the current applicable government rule shall prevail.

A couple of important points

I deliberately did not put “USD 200” into this version. The 2022 Tourism Rules contain the older USD 200 figure, but the current official Bhutan tourism portal states USD 100/day for adults, with concessions, and the official visa page currently reflects that rate.

I also recommend keeping the wording “applicable SDF rate” rather than hard-coding the amount into your Terms & Conditions. That way, if the Royal Government changes the SDF, you don’t have to rewrite your legal terms immediately.

For your website, I would also create three separate pages alongside these Terms:

  • Cancellation & Refund Policy
  • Privacy Policy
  • Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) & Visa Information

The official Department of Immigration currently publishes the tourist visa/e-permit requirements, including passport validity and travel-insurance requirements.The official Bhutan tourism portal also provides the current tourism/visa information and SDF guidance. want, I can next prepare a very detailed Bhutan-compliant “Cancellation & Refund Policy” with specific cancellation percentages (e.g. 30/60/90 days before arrival) that you can put directly underneath these Terms & Conditions.
