Bhutan

[Maureen Blevins]

I have an opportunity to go to Bhutan this spring (2013). I would welcome any inquiries from editors regarding stories and/or photos.

Are you invited by the government ? Last I researched, most nationalities had to book a package tour through a local travel agency and go in a group before being granted a visa. Is that still true ? 

[Maureen Blevins]

No. Not invited by the government. I don't know if all that is true but I am going with a local tour guide. I believe they still limit the amount of visitors per year and there is a daily fee to be paid to the governement.
