Hi,

I just started to plan a trip to Bhutan (my wife's dream). Here is what I know so far:

- the daily charge in Bhutan is around $250 per person and there seem to be a lot of well recommended travel agencies
- Interested in Buddism and doing trekking (not hardcore)
- Will use BA (first using a companion pass) to fly NYC > London > India (quick search showed Delhi and Mumbai would work on BA metal , Kolkata was not an option on BA > Delphi seems to be the better/closer alternative )
- Druk Air and Bhutan Airlines are the only ones flying into Paro
- on Druk air the pay up to business is very reasonable
- will probably travel October

Any tips that might guide me into the right direction as I am gearing up to do a more in detail research?

All help is appreciated (including the mod moving this if Indi isn't the correct forum)!

have you decided where you want to stay & how many days you want to be there????

That part is in the hands of my wife, but any suggestions are welcome. Duration around 10 days ( with flights etc around 2 weeks).

Have you checked out my trip report from late 2011?

I can recommend Bhutan Gayul Tours (http://www.bhutangayul.com). They responded to emails promptly and their English is excellent. Our guides/drivers were amazing.

Thanks for posting the link. Must have overlooked it when searching for info
