What people love about Bhutan Tours for Seniors
- Best of Bhutan
I just completed an enjoyable and enlightened 5 days in Bhutan. I booked through Touradar with World Travel Plan. My guide, Ugyen Phuntsho, was very competent in answering my questions and made my comfort snd safety a priority. The driver was also very good who took extra care to ensure a smooth ride. I was impressed of the depth and breath of Ugyen's knowledge on the culture Bhutan as well as the many places we visited. He typically had a story to tell that provided the background and the significance of the place visited as well as on the national religion of Bhutan- Buddhism. Ugyen had an excellent command of English which made our interaction efortlessly. I strongly recommend using the World Travel Plan Tour company and Ugyen Phuntsho as the guide for future bookings in Bhutan. Thanks for a job well done.
- Bhutan - The Hidden Kingdom
What a great stay it was! Me and my family we reached back from the trip and i cant imagine how beautiful the stay was. We were warmly welcomed by the guide at the airport. The guide and the driver was very humble. since the beginning of the trip it went as planned in the itinerary. The drive from the airport to the capital was very soothing to eyes, we visited Paro, Thimphu, phunakha, phobjika valley too and the experience was breath taking. The people and the places are so rooted to their culture and tradition. The places were very neat and clean, the food was something we looked forward to and it lived up to the expectation. since the tour was for 13 days and Luckily Thimphu Tshechu was being held when we were in capital SO we wanted to extent our stay for 3 more days to attend the festival and the tour operator did all the necessary arrangements in the nick of time. the festival was colorful and meaningful. sadly the stay had to end but the memories me and my family made there will always be cherished we were very satisfied with the services rendered by World tour plan and would definitely recommend them if you are planning to visit Bhutan. Its a great place for travel gateway with family and friends. Thank you world tour plan for making this trip a success.

The trips was amazing. My tour guide and the driver were a dynamic duo that went above and beyond to make my adventure so much more than I had expected. The hotels and the staff at all of the hotels were exception. The food was delectable. I am a happy person but the people I met along the journey were next level. The only downside of the adventure was that it had to end. I will be back without a doubt. With GRATITUDE, Rick Montoya

What is the typical physical fitness level required for senior travelers in Bhutan?
You don't need to be extremely fit to enjoy Bhutan. Most sites are easy to reach and tours adjust to different fitness levels. The Tiger's Nest Monastery hike is optional. Many tours like the "Wonderful Bhutan Tour" focus on gentle walks through Phobjikha and Punakha valleys with stops at temples like Kichu Lhakhang and Rinpung Dzong.

What altitude range in Bhutan and how can seniors adjust?
Tourist spots sit between 1200m (Punakha) and 2300m (Thimphu) with some mountain passes reaching 3100m. Starting at lower spots like RKPO Green Resort in Punakha helps with adjustment.
