Money
Bhutan’s currency is the ngultrum (Nu), which is pegged to the Indian rupee. Cards are accepted in many hotels and larger shops, but cash is useful in markets, villages and small cafés. ATMs are found in the main towns.
Payments for your tour
Payment terms for your trip are set out clearly in your written proposal. We never ask you to pay before your itinerary and price are confirmed in writing.
SIM cards and connectivity
Local SIM cards are available from Bhutan’s mobile operators with a passport. Mobile signal is good in towns and along main roads but limited in remote valleys and on treks. Most hotels offer Wi-Fi, though speeds vary.
