Altitudes in Bhutan
Altitude sickness is very rare in Bhutan because most valleys are under 2,500 metres, and mountain passes are generally only just over 3000 metres. Our cultural tours do not reach altitudes higher than 3,700 metres.
Our Zoid Jin Tour Guide's and drivers are trained in First Aid Services and there will be solutions for you if anything happens in between provided you should let them know about your problem in advance.
