Very expensive

by boasnovas

It is already very expensive to go to Bhutan, but once there they charge everything 3 or 4 times what they charge for homeland people...it is annoying.I was charged 3 times the regular price for a coke. Talk to whomever is charging above price and sometimes he will put the price down.

There are few tourists in Bhutan and I cant say I came in contact with something I could call a 'tourist trap'. Even at a shop for tourists, the 'Handicrafts Emporium' it was a relaxing atmosphere were they sold alot of interesting items.Not a tourist trap that place either as far as I could see.
