The Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) is a daily levy paid by visitors to support Bhutan’s development. Since the kingdom first opened its doors in 1974, guests have played a critical role in our country’s growth.
The SDF is collected by the national exchequer and funds are allocated to various projects that create long-term, sustainable opportunities for the Bhutanese people, through free healthcare, education and training, upskilling the tourism and hospitality industry, improved infrastructure, environmental preservation and conservation, cultural preservation programmes and initiatives that support local businesses and economies. The SDF is also a vital means of maintaining the exceptional forest cover and carbon-neutrality for which our small nation is world-renowned and globally critical. The SDF also helps us to ensure that we can continue to offer guests tranquillity and an intimate experience
The SDF is USD 100 per night for adults from all countries except for India. Children aged between 6 years and who have not yet turned 12 are eligible to pay USD 50 per night. Children who have not yet turned 6 years old do not have to pay any SDF.

I had booked the trip from Bhutan. Bhutan GBS tours and travel was our travel agent. Sunjive from gbs tours was so polite, helpful and professional in arranging all trip details and also customized my itinerary as per liking and choices. Tour guide and driver given for the tour were excellent. I received such small small details from the tour guide Gyelshen about Bhutanese culture,nature, history as well as geography. Driver Sangey was also very safe, especially given tough hilly terrains of Bhutan. Hotel arrangements were really well made, and travel owner Sunjive made sure to attend all the queries before and during the trip as well. Would really recommend GBS tours if you wish to have Bhutan trip, be as a couple, family or group. Best memories of this trip, trekking to the Tiger's nest, listening to its history and other small details from tour guide, who is hiking along with you.Visiting the Dochula pass,in windy weather to miss the Mountains view, but tour guide made sure to take back the next day, with clear weather,so this view is not missed. It was breathetaking, and nice gesture from GBS tour team to stop in the way for this.

Had an excellent 12 day trip to Bhutan. Sunjive was super patient & helpful in customizing the itinerary for me. I can be demanding sometimes :p. Though I wish I had a better & a move flexible guide & driver. I just feel when a person goes to a new country to travel, they'd like to experience the country in its totality and not just sightseeing . Having 2 out of 3 meals in a day, in the hotel one is staying in, where there was hardly any choice of food, doesn't really make them experience the local life & lifestyle. Rest was GREAT... Bhutan as a country is stunning... Also, they made me feel SUPER special on my birthday. was really touched :) Thank you
