Here you find some useful information for your travel preparations
Travel and health insurance
We recommend to check both your travel and health insurance. A return to your home country is advisable in case of serious injuries or illness. If you need specific medicines do not forget to bring them along.
Vaccinations
Bhutan does not require special vaccinations if you are entering the country directly from Switzerland or Germany. Nevertheless, we advise you to talk to your doctor about the journey. However, the standard vaccinations such as tetanus, polio, diphtheria, hepatitis A, typhus and so on should be up-to-date. A vaccination for yellow fever is necessary only if you enter the country from a risky area.
Simple precautionsh
As a traveller it is highly likely to have an attack of diarrhea. For this reason we advise to avoid drinking tap water. Only use labelled and pre-packed drinking-water. During the trekking it is the chef’s responsibility to provide sufficient water.
