Bhutan - Daily Minimum Tourist Fee

The government of Bhutan has placed a daily minimum fee on tourists to this beautiful country.  The cost is $200 US in the low months and $250 US in the busy months.  If you are wondering how the government will make sure that visitors pay this daily limit, well, they have a plan.
Visitors to the country, except for three countries, must arrange their visit through an authorized travel agency.  By so doing, travel packages are offered and chosen from, and they include accommodation, meals and a guide (s).
