Frequently Asked Questions

Is it easy to travel to Bhutan?

The answer is YES! Bhutan is serviced by several popular travel hubs including Bangkok, New Dehli, Singapore and others. Travel to Bhutan is also commonly combined with other regional visits.

Isn't travel to Bhutan highly restricted and exclusive?

Bhutan is committed to the philosophy of high value/low volume tourism, the vision of His Majesty Jigme Singye Wangchuk, the Fourth King of Bhutan. This philosophy results in the unadulterated preservation of cultural integrity within the kingdom and a unique, unforgettable tourist experience. HFA handles all visas, government approvals and logistics for our guests.

What are Bhutan's fishing regulations?

Recreational angling was first allowed in 1974 for Brown Trout (introduced) and Snow Trout (native). But very little regulation existed and fishing for Golden and Chocolate Mahseer was highly restricted. In 2022, the kingdom decided to open up recreational angling for all species across the kingdom for the first time in history.

Do I need to hire a guide to fish in Bhutan?

Flyfishing in Bhutan requires the hiring of a trained and certified Bhutanese fishing guide. Non-Bhutanese may NEVER fish without a Bhutanese guide or risk penalties and confiscation of equipment. To view Bhutan's new fishing regulations, click here.

Bhutan is famous for its cultural attractions. Are these included in HFA itineraries?

Absolutely! Visits to Bhutan's most famous cultural attractions including the Tiger's Nest monastery, the Punakha Dzong and the world's largest sitting Buddha statue are part of every HFA adventure.
