Bhutan follows a “High Value, Low Impact” tourism policy, which means travelers pay a Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) to support conservation, education, and infrastructure development.

SDF Charges:

  • International tourists: $100 per person per night.
  • Indian tourists: ₹1,200 per person per night.
  • This ensures that tourism in Bhutan remains sustainable while helping preserve the country’s unique heritage.
