From hikes through stunning Himalayan forests to cultural visits to monasteries and sacred sites, the visit should be a remarkable experience!
LODGING: Guests will reside in our student dorms or in local accommodations in double or triple occupancy.
FEES: A $365 participation fee includes all accommodations, site visit activities, all meals, and the daily Bhutan visa fee. Site visitors are responsible for all international air travel, immunizations, and incidental personal expenses. An additional $860 fee will be due to cover the flights between Bangkok, Thailand and Paro, Bhutan, which must be booked by SFS.
APPLY: Please submit the SFS Bhutan SITE VISIT APPLICATION by November 15. Space is limited and we expect a waitlist. We will begin reviewing applications in late October. We welcome applications from people with no previous experience with SFS, as well as those already familiar with us but eager to learn more about the Bhutan programs. Please note that this will be a more physically rigorous site visit with several days including moderate to hard hikes.
