Worth agreeing on before you meet
Buddhist Etiquette
Bhutan is deeply Buddhist and religious sites demand respect. Always walk clockwise around temples, stupas, and prayer wheels, spinning them clockwise as you pass. Remove shoes and hats before entering temples. Never point your feet at altars or Buddha statues. Photography is forbidden inside all temple interiors without exception.
Dress Code Matters
Bhutanese take dress seriously: men wear the gho (knee-length robe) and women the kira (ankle-length dress) in formal settings. Tourists should dress modestly at all times, especially at dzongs and temples. Long sleeves and trousers are required at every religious site. Wearing traditional Bhutanese dress as a tourist is welcomed and can be arranged through your guide.
