What to Pack
Pack light clothes for summer but throw in some warm wraps for the evening. Winter is very cold and you will require thick woollies to keep yourself warm. It is advisable to carry your medicines, especially if you are on prescription drugs. If you are a keen photographer, you may want to buy your film before you set out for Bhutan because you don’t come by it easily except perhaps in some shops in Thimphu and Paro. The consumer boom hasn’t touched Bhutan yet so it is advisable to carry your own personal care items. If you are a smoker, just keep in mind that cigarettes are not easily available in Bhutan.
