What people love about touring Bhutan solo
- Bhutan's Majestic Culture and Nature(Bespoke Private)
Bhutan is a pristine natural wonderland which offers majestic mountain views. The tour is excellent introduction to this surreal place.
My time in Bhutan was lovely. My guide, Chenchu Vajra, was a font of knowledge about history, religion, language, ornithology, and on and on. He was a fun partner to hike to Tiger's Nest with. Accommodations and food were very good and the schedule was nice and flex. I feel like I got to see a lot, but also had plenty of time to venture out or rest as I felt like.

- Bhutan Heritage Tour : A Journey Through Timeless Traditions
This was the trip of a lifetime, and our guides made it even more special. We have good memories. All the sites we went to and it extremely amazing. We had an absolutely good time with him.
