The tourist arrival in Bhutan is huge during festival time especially Paro festival (Spring) and Thimphu Tshechu (autumn). Unless you book your trip early, it will be difficult to get seats in the airlines and the desired hotels. So we advise you to book your trip at least 3 months in advance.
The festivals are not organized to entertain and attract tourists but are spiritual events. Hence, there are no fees levied by the government to witness the Bhutan festivals.
We do not levy any extra surcharges if you book the normal Bhutan tour package. However, some deluxe hotels (4 & 5 star hotels) do add festival supplement charges.

There is no strict dress code during festivals visit however you are expected to dress decently. Bhutan is all about visiting ancient monasteries, temples and massive dzongs which serve as administrative centres. The Bhutanese people and government are very particular about what you wear when you enter these places of worship and dzongs.
We would recommend you to wear decent clothes like long pants, sleeved T-shirt or shirt with collar. You are not allowed to wear hats/caps while entering temples/monasteries and dzongs. The women folks can wear pants or knee-long skirts with collared T-shirts or shirts. You can also dress-up like local Bhutanese folks and wear Gho (for Men) and Kira (Women). There are so many out-lets where you can hire the Bhutanese dresses or your Bhutanese tour operator will arrange one for you.
