Bhutan SDF Charges for Indian and Foreigners

Charges for Indians

For Indian tourists planning a visit to Bhutan, it’s essential to understand the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) charges. As of 2023, Indian visitors are required to pay a nominal SDF of 1,200 INR per person per night. This fee contributes to Bhutan’s efforts in maintaining its pristine environment and unique cultural heritage.

Here’s a breakdown of the SDF charges for Indians:

SDF per Person

1 Night

1,200 INR

3 Nights

3,600 INR

5 Nights

6,000 INR

7 Nights

8,400 INR

It’s important to note that children under 5 years old are exempt from the SDF, while those between 6-12 years pay 50% of the adult fee.

Visa Charges for foreigners

While Indians don’t require a visa to enter Bhutan, foreign visitors need to obtain a visa and pay significantly higher SDF charges. Here are the key points for foreign tourists:

  1. SDF: USD 100 per person per night
  2. Visa(USD 65) and SDF must be paid in advance before travel

Foreign visitors should keep in mind:

  • The visa fee and SDF cover basic amenities, including accommodation, food, and transport within Bhutan
  • Additional charges may apply for luxury accommodations or specialized tours
  • Visa processing typically takes 5-7 working days

Now that you’re aware of the SDF charges for Indians and visa requirements for foreigners, you can better plan your budget for your Bhutan tour package from Ahmedabad or other cities in Gujarat.
