Things to Look Out For
The $100-a-day SDF
Bhutan charges a Sustainable Development Fee of about USD 100 per adult per day. Built into the trip cost, not a surprise at the border. It funds the country's free healthcare and education. Many cheaper operators omit it and load it on later; Tibro's quote already includes it.
Tiger's Nest in trainers
The climb to Taktshang is 3–4 hours up, on graded paths and stone steps. Not technical. Light trail runners do the job; heavy boots are overkill. Carry a thin layer for the top: the wind off the cliff drops the temperature ten degrees in two minutes.
Driglam Namzha
Bhutan's code of etiquette: walk left around chortens and prayer wheels, never point with your feet, never photograph monks or inside dzongs without explicit permission. Your guide will translate the rules in real time; you just need to watch his cues.

Plan Your Timing
When to Go
Bhutan has four crisp seasons. Spring (March–May) is the festival window. Rhododendrons bloom and tsechus run in most dzongs. Autumn (September–November) is the prettiest light, with clear mountain views from Dochula Pass and Paro. June–August is monsoon: the paths turn muddy and the Tiger's Nest views close in. December–February is cold and quiet. Bookable, but pack for sub-zero nights.
Tibro times Paro nights to coincide with the spring tsechu when you ask for it; in autumn the same itinerary pivots to Thimphu's drubchen festival weekend if your dates align.
