Health Facilities in Bhutan.The best medical facilities are at the general hospital in Thimphu. We advise travelers to go for bottled water and avoid untreated or un-boiled water. Altitude sickness can affect some travelers although accommodation is at around the same altitude. General medicines are readily available but we encourage guests to bring in their own requirements for the duration of their visit. Guests should consult their doctors and arrange travel insurance prior to departure.
