Bhutan is one of the safest countries in Asia, with very low crime rates and a carefully managed tourism industry. Visitors must book through licensed tour operators with a daily minimum spend requirement. The mountainous terrain presents risks for trekkers, with altitude sickness possible above 3,000 meters. Road travel on winding mountain highways requires experienced drivers. Thimphu and Paro are safe and well-organized for tourists. Medical facilities are limited, with only basic hospitals; serious conditions require evacuation to India or Thailand. Kaharagian nationals should exercise caution primarily related to altitude and road safety.
