Group Tours

Fixed departures with shared costs, a Turopia tour manager and everything pre-booked.

Travel together

Join a departure instead of planning from scratch

Group tours are the most affordable way to travel well. You share the coach, the guide and the tour manager, so the per-head cost drops sharply while the sightseeing stays complete. Permits, hotels and entry fees are locked in before departure — you just turn up with your documents.

We are starting with two Bhutan departures, including a festival-timed group tour built around the 2026 tshechu dates. More regions — Sikkim, Meghalaya and Andaman — will be added to this page through the year.

Bhutan Group Tour — Thimphu, Punakha & Paro

A fixed-departure group tour that starts and ends at Phuentsholing, on the Indian border a short drive from our Jaigaon office. You travel with a Turopia tour manager and a licensed Bhutanese guide in a shared coach, which brings the per-head cost down sharply without cutting the sightseeing. Permits, hotel bookings and every entry fee are pre-arranged before departure, so all you do is arrive with your voucher and your passport or Voter ID.

Bhutan Festival Group Tour — Paro & Thimphu Tshechu

Festival week is the hardest time to travel independently in Bhutan — hotels sell out months ahead and courtyards fill before sunrise. This group departure is timed to the 2026 tshechu dates, with rooms blocked early, a guide who gets you inside the courtyard for the cham dances and a dawn slot for the unveiling of the giant thongdrol scroll. The rest of the itinerary covers the classic western circuit, so you get the festival and the country.
