GOVERNMENT FEE
Sustainable Development Fee (SDF)
Every visitor pays a daily fee to the Royal Government of Bhutan. It supports free healthcare and education, infrastructure and environmental conservation, and it keeps tourism “high value, low volume.”
USD 100 is a 50% discount on the standard USD 200 rate and is confirmed until 31 August 2027. The rate for stays from 1 September 2027 has not been announced. The SDF is separate from the tour cost and is paid through your tour operator with the visa.
