What to Bring
What you pack depends on the time of year and the nature of your trip. Remember, even in the summer it can be cool at night. It is best to dress modestly; no tank tops or short shorts or skirts. Local people dress-up for festivals and visitors should look there best too.
If you have anything that runs on electricity, you will find that the Bhutanese current is 220/240. You will need an international converter kit and plug adapters.
