I will be traveling to Bhutan in the Fall of 08. Many of the guide books suggest women wear long pants or long skirts out of courtesy to people of Bhutan. I was also told that for Thailand. When I got to Thailand all female travelers were wearing shorts. So, while trekking and river rafting in Bhutan is it necessary for women to wear long pants/skirts?

Hello Lep,

This is nice to know that you are heading to Bhutan on fall 2008.Well, yeah I am agree on you that when you got the informations about thailand at guide book, it said there are necessary to wear long Skirt but you didn%26#39;t find when you travelled there right? But Bhutan is totally different country compare Thailand and other asian Countries because this country been rulling by the Bhutan%26#39;s King and they don%26#39;t allow any civil as well as tourist to wear such a short Skirts because it can be against their rules and systems. So, if you need any further informations about bhutan please feel easy to write here or send me the pm or contact at nakulnp@gmaildotcom.Thank you and regards

Hello Lep,

Wishing you a very Happy Merry Christmas. Well, it is not that necessary to wear long pants and skirts everytime while in Bhutan.

But it is necessary while visiting the important places like fortress, monastries and temples.

If you have more inquires please let me help you.
