  My girlfriends and I had an outstanding experience with Bhutan Best Inbound Tour. Among the tour options that we considered, this was the most well-suited to our tastes, well-reviewed, certified by the Bhutanese government and fairly priced. Thinley, our tour coordinator, was highly responsive from the very early planning stages and flexible with the itinerary. He made it a point to greet us in person in Thimphu. Our guide Lhab was truly incredible: he was friendly, patient and so informative. We genuinely felt like we had made a new friend. We also had wonderful drivers (Geym, Pema) througout. We had great exposure to Bhutanese food and culture, saw numerous stunning temples and monasteries, as well as engaged in more adventurous activities like rafting, hiking and camping. Of note, following a last-minute request, Thinley and Lhab arranged for a poignant commemoration of a couple of recently departed loved ones of members of our travel group; I will cherish those memories and their kindness forever. A couple of us were so moved that we decided to extend our trip, and Thinley and Lhab facilitated this with great courtesy and helpfulness. Overall, this ranks among the favorite trips for everyone in our well-travelled group. I highly recommend using Bhutan Best Inbound Tour for travel to Bhutan and can't wait to return to this stunning, peaceful country someday.

  Bhutan Best Inbound Tour are the company to book with. We wished to tailor our tour to fit our interests and the Bhutan Best Inbound team created an incredible iteniary for us. They offer reasonable prices and provided great guides. Our guides Pema and Phurba were fantastic and we couldn't have asked for better guides to give us an insight into life and culture in Bhutan. The hotels we were booked in were also perfect, each one different but beautiful with great service, food and more often than not exceptional views. If you have a basic idea of what you'd like to see, speak to Mr. Thinley and Bhutan Best Inbound team and they will give you a once in a lifetime experience.

  Bring your own O2 if you have any and plenty of film. Seriously, the elevation was something we could prepare for but we were able to take our time and saw and did everything,

  I traveled with my sister and girlfriend to Bhutan in March 2020. The tour with this company, BHUTAN BEST INBOUND TOUR exceeded our expectations!!! When we arrived at the airport we were promptly greeted by our two young male guides who were so friendly helpful and excited to welcome us. They welcomed us with beautiful white silk scarves which they placed around each of our necks. Very nice cultural greeting. They truly took great care of us throughout the seven day tour driving us in a very comfortable van. Words are not enough to express our deepest gratitude to Jimge and Dorji our beloved tour guides. Thinley and his wife, the owners of this tour company also welcomed us in Thimphu and loaned each of us the native dress costume of Bhutan so we can wear it in town as well as in Punakha where a major cultural festival was happening during that time. Oh what an incredible experience wearing this beautiful native dress...we felt like a local ...it was so much fun!!! The guides took us to the famous pilgrimage spot called the TIGER’S NEST in Paro. That was the HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TOUR ! This was truly the most memorable trip we have ever experienced in our world travels. BHUTAN holds a very special place in our hearts. The people are so kind, polite, friendly, gracious and generous. We were always greeted and welcomed with a cup of hot tea. Such a warm way to connect with each other by enjoying a cup of their local tea. I do hope to have another opportunity to visit BHUTAN through BHUTAN BEST INBOUND TOUR COMPANY. They truly are THE VERY BEST! We thank you Thinley, your wife and our two amazing tour guides, Jimge and Dorji for showing us your beautiful and breathtaking country ....taking such special care of us and spoiling us during our tour. We miss you all very much!!!

  I saw the beautiful ad promotion of Bhutan Inbound Tour on Facebook and contacted Geeta . She was all with the zeal to tailor the vacation for me and my friend. It was a last minute booking Bhutan is really a beautiful place. The highlight of places we visited are Paro: As you land to Paro Airport you get enchanted by the beauty of this valley. The meandering river , the mountains, the paddy fields, small temples on the hill tops , the unique Architecture of the houses will give you the feel that you have travelled back in time. Thimphu: was supposedly the biggest town in Bhutan & Capital city but does not have traffic light. High light of the tour is visiting Buddha Statue, overlooking Thimphu Valley and watched the lowering of National Flag at Tashichodzong which was done in style & grandeur. Punakha: The one night farm stay with local & trying hand on cooking in preparing Bhutanese dish was a wonderful experience. White water rafting and hike to Kamsum Yulley was another highlight of the tour Thank you In-bound team for organizing a wonderful trip. Kadrinchela

  We have just completed our 9 days country tour to Bhutan. It was a family tour and consisted of my elderly parents, my two children aged 5 and 11 and my sister in-law. The way our guide Mr. Dorji attended to this variance of age group was impressive. The room arranged was comfortable and spacious. They had also arranged a family picnic, lunches at farmhouse,bonfire and activity that involved family bonding. I would also like to thank our driver Mr. Yanku for giving a company to our 5 years aged child and our elderly parents and taking them around when we hiked the Tiger Nest with our guide. Hats off to the Entire Team for this amazing experience

  I love forest, hiking, off beaten path and there I was in Bhutan doing a Druk Path Trek with a brief cultural tour. The trek starts from Paro and ends at Thimphu. Everything was very well arranged by Bhutan Inbound Tour. They exceeded my expectation in all the ways. My trekking cum cultural guide Mr. Tsundu was amazing and very knowledgeable. He was well versed with flora and fauna, and Bhutan had in its all diversity and in abundance. The whole trek journey was like pilgrim progress; the giant Mountains, wild Flowers, endangered Birds, the lakes, monks. . . . . So after the completion of the trek followed the short cultural tour. Saw the Giant statue of Buddha, planted the happiness tree(a beautiful concept), had a conversation with the monk at Dechenphodrang monastery , visited Tashichodzong, the finest example of Bhutan Architecture & ofcourse the nourishing hike to Tiger’s Nest All in all had a wonderful & peaceful vacation.

  This is my second visit to Bhutan but this time the experience was different. The first time I came through a company based in my country but this time I directly contacted the local tour operator (Bhutan Inbound) and booked my tour. It is not only the hotel and the food that makes a wonderful vacation but the people and little things that they do & Bhutan Inbound Team maintains that bar. Mr. Thinley, my tour organizer was making sure that my tour was going smooth by checking on me every alternate day on Whats App.Our guide Phurba was attentive but not intrusive. The driver was shy but pleasant and maneuvered us through the mountain terrain very safely. The best part of the tour was thing which we did beyond the itinerary. . . . like visiting schools in remote place of Bumthang and interacting with children, joining the villagers in farming, having traditional Bhutanese Food with the locals and trying a hand on cooking of Ema Datshi. . . the list can go on. Thank you Bhutan Inbound for this rich and healing experience. Will highly recommend the company to my family and friends.

  Thank you for your kind words. It is nice to know that you had a good time with our team . We had asked Mr.Phurba to be flexible with your itinerary as you had already visited Bhutan before so major places of attraction you could have already covered on... Show more

  We had found the Inbound team in the list of Bhutanese tour operators. There are so many in the list that it was tough to choose the specific tour operators from the list. We randomly picked up five of them and did some goggling. Found that Bhutan Inbound had wonderful reviews in many of the travel portals. So contacted Mr. Thinley. The respond was quick. He was all attentive to all our needs. I changed my itinerary for 5 times and Mr. Thinley was all patient. Then on arrival we were greeted with white scarf by our guide Mr. Dorji (surprising that man here in Bhutan wears a skirt like dress ) and our driver was a female Ms. Rinchen, from then onwards everything ran smooth. Our guide did things beyond what is designated for him, like talking to the receptionist at hotel and making them to reallocate the rooms with better view. Rinchen invited us at her farmhouse in Paro over a cup of coffee And these allowed us to see Bhutanese culture . All family members sit on the floor with the guest with some rice like snacks & the tea session begins. I was shocked that in Bhutan when the people are invited over a coffee they prepare tea and keep it in big flask and they keep on filling your cup. Trust me had 4 cups of tea in a big big mug, they offer you so courteously that it is awkward to say that I am done & had no space left for dinner. And Mr. Thinley had send the role of prayer flag through Dorji with specific date to hang those with the small note” May your aspiration remain even while you are gone’ . . . . a small but a powerful gesture which we hung as per Thinley’s astrological Prediction I really loved Bhutan, the Bhutanese people, the food, the nature and even water here taste good. Ever body should visit Bhutan once in a life time. . . . their culture is amazing, 13 is considered a lucky no, the childless women take blessing from wooden phallus – witnessed it in Chimi Lhakhang where a childless woman was carrying wooden phallus and circumambulating around the temple, man wear skirt like dress and women drives you around ,Gross National Happiness is priorities over Gross Development Product. . . . Amazing Culture, Amazing Place & Amazing Trip. . . . . Saw the different aspect of life.
