Is Bhutan suitable for first-time international travellers?
Yes. Bhutan is a great choice for first-time visitors because it is safe, peaceful, and well-organised for tourists. With pre-arranged transfers, guided sightseeing, and support for permits/visa formalities, the travel experience is generally smooth and manageable.
