Cash vs Carte

Cash dominates everywhere outside the big hotels and rare upscale restaurants of Thimphu and Paro. Plan on cash for taxis, stalls and rural areas.

Distributeurs (ATM)

ATMs in Thimphu, Paro and Phuentsholing only. Often out of service or incompatible with foreign cards.

Frais typiques

Variable fees and low limits for international cards; don't rely on ATMs. Withdraw on arrival.

Ou changer son argent

Paro Airport and banks (Bank of Bhutan, BNB) in Thimphu. Bring US dollars or euros in fresh notes.

Not required but much appreciated, especially for the guide and driver imposed by tourism regulations.

Guide ~10-15 USD/day, driver ~5-8 USD/day, rounded up at the restaurant

Arnaques a eviter

!Few money scams thanks to guide-led tourism.
!Verifie les billets rendus en INR/BTN, les grosses coupures usees passent mal.
!Fake 'local' handicrafts imported from India or Nepal in some shops.

Paiements digitaux

Local mobile payment (Bhutanese QR system) is widespread among residents but inaccessible to foreigners. Apple Pay/Google Pay nearly nonexistent. Stick to cash.
