Health and Insurance

Health
Currently there are no vaccinations required for traveling to Bhutan. However, visitors coming from an area infected with yellow fever are required to get a yellow fever vaccination and must be administered at least ten days before arrival in the country. Likewise, visitors arriving from a cholera-infected area should get vaccinated, and anti-malarial medication is strongly recommended for travelers visiting rural areas bordering India.

Insurance
We recommend that all travelers obtain a short-term traveler’s insurance policy, which covers everything from life and emergency medical care to lost baggage.
