    Thank you for the fabulous tour you created for us and your wonderful team, Tashi and Tinzhin. Tashi was a spectacular guide who took excellent care of me as some of the hikes, especially to Bundrak, was quite hard for me due to the altitude. I would have never been able to accomplish my goal of making it to the top if it wasn't for him. Tashi was knowledgeable and regaled us with many conversations about culture and historical facts. Tinzhin was an excellent driver, amazing every time he maneuvered the tiny one-lane roads, and always so sweet, helping me with packages and caring for our picnic lunches. It was an experience I'll never forget! I hope to return someday to this beautiful country with its lovely people.

    We were absolutely delighted to have tour with this company. From the time when we first contacted the company via email, everything was so seamless and professional. Lhendup is a superb guide and photographer. We have some brilliant memories to take home. We were really lucky to have him. He listens to our comments and adjust the itinary accordingly without any additional cost. After finding out when is our wedding anniversary, Lhendup and Perma went to surprise us during dinner. It makes our wedding anniversary very memorable. Both the guide and driver rather work late then rush us. They are also very attentive and have a brilliant sense of humour. There is one day I laughed so much, I have forgotten how cold it was outside. We would highly recommend this tour company and the guide + driver. Thanks for giving us such a memorable trip and we now fully understand why Bhutan is the happiest place on earth!
