Entry permit + SDF (no visa) for Indian travellers — the documents you need, how the process works, and how we handle it for you end to end.
Indian nationals do not need a visa for Bhutan but must obtain an entry permit and pay the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF). We arrange your permit, SDF and route so you can focus on Paro, Thimphu and the Tiger's Nest.
Send your passport/Voter ID, photos and planned route.
We process your entry permit and the Sustainable Development Fee.
You receive your permit before travel.
Enter Bhutan by air or road with your permit in hand.
No visa is required, but Indian tourists must hold an entry permit and pay the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) per night. We arrange both.
The Sustainable Development Fee is a per-night charge levied on tourists. Rates for Indian nationals are set by Bhutan and can change; we confirm the current amount.
A valid passport or a Voter ID card is accepted for Indian nationals. Children can travel on a birth certificate with a parent's documents.
