Hotel Check-In & Check-Out Policies All hotels follow a standard check-in time of 2:00 PM.

We request guests to vacate their rooms by this time. Any request for a late check-out will be subject to the hotel’s discretion, and we will not be involved in this decision.
Airport Transfers & Arrival/Departure Guidelines Airport pick-up and drop-off will be arranged at scheduled group timings, based on the majority of flight arrivals and departures. If your flight timing does not match the scheduled slots, a separate cab can be arranged at an additional cost. All arrival flights into Bagdogra must land by 12:30 PM on Day 1, and departure flights should be scheduled after 10:00 AM to ensure smooth transitions. Any transfers requested outside the planned timings will incur extra charges!
Trip Coordinator Policy If the group has 8 or more participants, a dedicated trip coordinator will accompany you throughout the journey. If the group size is below 8, you’ll still have a Local Bhutanese English speaking guide and all arrangements will be handled smoothly—however, a physical trip leader will not be present.
