Thimphu hotels and hostels

If you are on a normal tourist visa, you will be booked into one of the comfortable midrange hotels unless you have paid a premium for a top-end hotel (shown here as luxury hotels). If you are an Indian national or are working in Bhutan on a project, you have the option to choose a more moderately priced hotel. The local budget hotels are not as comfortable as the tourist hotels but they're all quite adequate.
