- MMichael· April 7th, 2024We had an amazing 8 nights in Bhutan with Bhutan Acorn. Everything was perfect. Bhutan is simply unforgettable. Bhutan Acorn attended to our needs thoughtfully and responded super swiftly to our enquiries and requests. Every booking and confirmation were made at ease. Karma from Bhutan Acorn brought us a gorgeous pair of Gho and Kira and we were so glad and wore them for the entire trip. In the midst of the trip, Karma checked in with us to see if everything's in order, a nice touch. After they knew we wore the same Gho and Kira for the past 4 days, Karma immediately arranged a second pair for us and even asked for our colour preference. We were very delighted for this arrangement. It was our choice to wear this beautiful traditional costume throughout the trip and we hope to blend in and experience being a Bhutanese. Our guide and driver wore it the entire trip even to Tiger Nest Temple, so we believe we can do it, too. Knowing that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, Karma amazingly arranged a tasty cake and a bottle of Bhutanese wine during our stay in Thimphu. Amazing. Our guide and driver, Tashi and Sonam, made a perfect quartet with us. Tashi is super fun, knowledgeable and attends to our change of plans swiftly and thoughtfully. Sonam is a reliable driver. We asked loads of questions in understanding Buddhism, Bhutan and the secret of their Gross National Happiness. We were mind-blown by the beauty of Bhutan, not just by the clean air, pristine scenery and gorgeous, exquisitely decorated and historic temples and dzongs, but most importantly, the beautiful and genuine people in Bhutan. We love everything in Bhutan. Thanks Bhutan Acorn!Show more
Bhutan Acorn Tours & Travel commented on this reviewDear Michael, I am delighted that you enjoyed your trip with us! We at Bhutan Acorn strive to create unforgettable experiences for our guests, so your feedback means a lot to us. I’m happy the cake and wine I arranged was to your liking; happy... Show moreTrip date: March 2024 - DADavid· September 6th, 2023Acorn, Karma Phuntsho was extremely responsive and thorough on guiding me through the tour itinerary, accommodations, and visa requirements. Feel free to be direct with Karma in telling you EXACTLY what you want from your tour and he will customize a tour JUST FOR YOU 😃. I was originally going to go for 7 days and extended my trip an additional day (before I got my visa) and he made these additions to the itinerary just for me!! Now, on to the tour itself…. Karma told me later on that he tries to make his tours private whenever possible. This was unknown to me before booking, so I was extremely surprised and happy to find my 8 day tour would be just me and my tour guide and driver. (SHOUTOUT TO NIDUP & NORBU - the best in the game! 🙌🙌) BHUTAN IS A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY 🇧🇹 As the only carbon negative country in the world, the air is the purest out there. You will also be surrounded by breathtaking mountain ranges and rare wildlife (birds, monkeys, etc.) I felt extremely taken care of and can now call Nidup and Norbu great friends of mine 😃 As for the driver… Nidup was such a funny and outgoing guy. He really knows how to turn up the energy on some of these long road trips (hint: he loves rock music 🎸). He is also completely willing to speak his mind and put your best interests at heart (—he will make sure you get fair deals at stores) As for the tour guide… Norbu is a young and bright guy. He knew sooooo much about Bhutan and Buddhism. I could ask him anything and he knew it right away. He is also a very fast hiker (so if you want to save some time, he is your guide) Norbu is also an amazing photographer!! He happily offered to take professional photos of me on one of the days and edit them himself!! The photos attached to this review are from him. All in all, Bhutan was no mistake. It is a complete blessing. And it is a place I will most definitely come back to many times over (….But Nidup and Norbu must visit me in the USA too!!) To whoever is reading this, enjoy your travels!! ✈️ 🇧🇹 ❤️Show moreBhutan Acorn Tours & Travel commented on this reviewDear David, It's heartwarming to read about your incredible experience in Bhutan with Nidup and Norbu.
