Anyone here ever visited Bhutan? Thimphu sounds like a really cool place to go, but because of how remote it is, and the INSANE entry requirements, I doubt I'll ever get to.

When I went my guide literally said I was allowed to have sex with any locals. I didn't even bring it up or anything
How did you get in? Did you fly from Delhi, or what?
> sexual harassment.
toxic femininity has ruined your mind.
Yes, I posted about it here back in 2012. It is easy enough, just expensive. You need to book a tour through a company.
I don't see what is so insane about it. Are you just poor?
The visa requirements are really strict, and if the weather isn't perfectly clear, your flight will get cancelled.
Strict? How so? All you need to do is provide your passport information to the tour company you will book with.
Maybe I'm just spoiled. I've traveled to a bunch of different countries, and I've never needed a visa, since my home country has relatively good diplomatic relations. I think there are only like 3 countries that can get into Bhutan visa-free.
You haven't traveled much if you have never been to a country where you need to get a visa for.
Name one (1) country other than China the average SighSee user visits that requires a visa
thailand
india
cuba
and if not from the first world, most countries (I think the US also has strict visa policies)
Needing a paper form you get on arrival isn't a visa.
>implying visa on arrival is a real visa
It's clear you have not travelled a lot, to a tourist there is zero practical difference between a visa free destination and one that lets you get a visa on arrival (invariably at negligible cost), it's just a name. The same cannot be said for a country like Bhutan where you need a visa in advance, requiring more money, time, and planning. Also Thailand is visa free but again, just a difference in nomenclature.
Iran
Pakistan
India
Myanmar
Algeria
Ghana
Russia

eVisa. Practically visa-free.
>Russia
Visa-free.
>Algeria
>Ghana
Alright, you win.
>Russia
>Visa-free
Most of us don't have an Israeli passport.
Most people here could have fooled me.
It's visa-free for all but one country in Latin America as well as CIS. Almost everyone else needs an eVisa (African shitholes are not relevant) so again, practically free. It's really just anglos that have a hard time visiting Russia.
How are they not completely overrun with Indians?
How do I get Indian passport so I can bhutanmaxxx
what would happen if you crossed illegally? are there people checking you all the time like at hotels n shit? would cops stop you to see if you have your visa and guide?
as a white man of course
Everyone would be asking questions if a white guy was traveling alone. You would not get far. There are checkpoints, hotels will have been booked by a local tour company, you can't really do anything there by yourself. Don't be a poorgay and just pay for a private tour.
Spent a month there back in 2007 or so...
How’d you manage to stay there for a month?
Private tour, flight into Paro and overland exit into India in the East of the country. Expensive but bucket list trip.
In my fantasy bucket list, the cost is just too much to rationalize at the moment. The same cost would be a massive cross country tour of China with Tibet to boot.
Pretty though.
>can enter only through a travel agency
thanks no. I did it in tibet, I was in a group with full of fricking boomers. Never again.
You can easily book a private tour where it's only you, the guide, and the driver.
for like 8k? lmao
250 a day or whatever it is they charge now. If you can't afford even that then you really shouldn't be traveling.
insane entry requirements
Bring enough money to prove you won't be destitute, to book a tour guide so you are shown around and taught the culture and respect it instead of trashing their home is insane to you?
They are a small peaceful country, they want to keep it that way. I will gladly go there.
They used to require tourists to wear native clothes. Now they only require business casual clothes.
you sound like a gay entitled homosexual
>Bhutan
I am Bhutanese-American and never been there.
How'd your parents end up in the US?
Is there a significant Bhutanese population there?
it was a joke. i am french-canadian. good luck
